Numbers you can act on, post by post
Advice for every post, in plain words
Keep it, refresh it, rewrite it or merge it: each post gets one piece of advice, with the reason in its own numbers and what to do next.
- One clear next step a post
- The reason in the post's own numbers
Know why a post fell
A Google update, a technical fault, slow decay across posts, or two of your own posts competing for one search. Declines are named, with the week they began.
- Google's updates marked on the chart
- Cannibalization spotted for you
See if a change worked
Monitor a post after you change it and see whether it improved, measured against the rest of the site over the same days, so a holiday or an update does not fool you.

- Measured against the whole site

Questions about Site Metric
What it does, how it works and what your team gets from it.
Still curious? Book a demo or write to us.
01Where do the numbers come from?
From Google Search Console. Each site is linked to its own property, and its clicks, impressions and positions are stored for every post.
02What advice does it give?
One piece for each post, such as keep it as it is, refresh it, rewrite it or merge it with another, with the reason in the post's own numbers.
03How does it explain a decline?
It names the likely cause: a Google update, a technical fault, slow decay across posts, or two of your posts competing for the same search.
04Can I see whether Google has indexed a post?
Yes. Index status lists every post with what Google last said about it, what that means and what to do.
05Can I see several sites together?
Yes. The overall report adds up every site you can see, and a folder of sites gives you the same report for any group you choose.
