What do Positions and the Rank dashboard show?

Positions

Search & keywords → Positions shows one row per search in the market you choose:

• where it started, where it is now, its change over 1, 7 and 30 days and over its whole life, its best position and the extras Google shows (such as a featured snippet or a local pack);
• a volatility score and badges: trending up or down, pogo sticking (swinging back and forth), flickering (in and out of the results) and your own pages swapping places for it.

Tags and weights: give searches tags, and a weight from 0 to 1000. Weights count in the average position, coverage and visibility (marked "Weighted"); counts by position band stay plain. Select searches (or all) to tag, weight, pause, track, delete or export them.

Check days and hours: in the project's settings, choose the days and the hours checks may run, in the project's own time zone.

Insights

The Insights tab compares two dates (the actual dates with data): winners, losers, new in the top 3 and top 10, lost, pages swapping, and the searches trending, pogo sticking or flickering, each saying what it needs before it can be shown.

Rank dashboard

Workspace → Rank dashboard shows every project you can open: a chart with one line per website and a card per project with the dates compared, top 3, 10, 20 and 100 then and now, new, improved, lost, declined and unchanged searches, and its ten best searches.
