The User Breakdown widget option is available to display a graph with a combined average rank per selected user.

Example of Mobile Tracking of Average Rank, Visibility & Rank Positions

In this example, we're displaying the campaign name, search engine, number of keywords, and the following metrics:

  • Average Rank: the average rank of all campaign keywords for 1 day based on the last Monday of the report date range (e.g., if the date range is April 1 - April 30, 2019, then the data will be based on Monday, April 29th).
  • Visibility Score: the visibility score for all campaign keywords and selected search engines for 1 day based on the last Monday of the report date range.
  • Visibility Trend: a graph of daily visibility scores for a 30-day period ending on the Monday that the data was last updated (i.e., the Monday prior to the last day of the report date range).
  • Rank Position Stats: the number of times that campaign keywords ranked in the selected position ranges for all the selected search engines, during the 30 day period ending on the last Monday of the report date range.  For example, if 10 keywords ranked in positions 1 through 3 for 30 days on 2 search engines, then that equals 600 rankings in positions 1-3 (10 x 30 x 2).

Search & Paid Ad Performance
