Frequently Asked Questions

How often does Google Search Console update keyword ranking data?

Google Search Console data typically has a 24-48 hour delay. The Performance report may take a couple of days to reflect the latest search data, so don't expect real-time ranking updates.

What does Average Position mean in Google Search Console?

Average Position shows the mean ranking of your page for a specific query across all searches. A position of 1 means you appeared at the top of search results on average. Keep in mind this is averaged across all impressions, so it can vary based on user location and device.

Can I see keyword rankings for specific pages in Google Search Console?

Yes. In the Performance report, click the Pages tab to select a specific URL, then switch to the Queries tab. This will show you all the keywords that specific page ranks for along with clicks, impressions, and average position.
