FAQs

A Google Search Console report should include broken down metrics by visibility (i.e., impressions, clicks), engagement (i.e., average position, click-through rate), and conversion metrics (i.e., conversions, conversion rate). The data should be segmented by campaign, channel, audience, content, objective, and date. For example, you might want to analyze the performance of a specific campaign, across different channels, targeting different audience segments, with varying content types, to achieve different objectives, over a defined time period.
To analyze Google Search Console data, follow these steps: 1) Choose metrics like impressions and clicks for visibility, bounce rate and time on page for engagement, and goal completions and conversion rate for conversion metrics. 2) Add context by comparing metrics against previous date ranges, cost per click, and goals. Benchmark the data against industry standards to identify areas for improvement. 3) Segment the data by campaign, channel (organic search, paid search), audience demographics, content type (blog posts, landing pages), objectives (lead generation, e-commerce), and specific date ranges. For example, compare the bounce rates of different landing pages or analyze conversion rates by age groups.
To build a Google Search Console dashboard, 1) connect your Google Search Console account and import your data. 2) Select metrics such as click-through rate, impressions, and position to monitor performance. 3) Segment your data by queries, pages, countries, devices, search appearance, and dates. 4) Add filters to view specific data ranges or compare data sets, making your report interactive. 5) Share your dashboard via PDF, scheduled emails, or links for easy access and review.
