How to read your Search Console performance

The Measurement Crew reads Search Console clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, and points out the queries and pages that moved. Fixes go to the Search Crew.

When you need this

You have Search Console connected but nobody reads it, so ranking drops show up as a lead drop weeks later.

How the crew does it

  1. Pull search performance

    Measurement Crew

    Echo reads clicks, impressions, CTR and average position by query and page from Search Console.

  2. Find what moved

    Measurement Crew

    Queries and pages that gained or lost the most against the previous period are listed.

  3. Hand off the opportunities

    Measurement Crew

    Pages losing position or with high impressions and low clicks are passed to the Search Crew to investigate.

  4. Pick what to work on

    You

    You decide which pages and queries are worth the Search or Content Crew's time.

What waits for you

Which search opportunities get worked, and any page change that follows through the other crews' approvals.
