Run analysis

For each qualifying query the report maps the top-ranking URL and estimates the gain of reaching a target position, as impressions × (expected CTR at the target − current CTR).

What you get

  • A target-position slider (default 3, with per-row overrides) that recalculates the estimate live.
  • A second table, “CTR meta-data optimisation opportunities”, flagging queries that already rank well but under-perform on CTR (a title/meta rewrite play).
  • A CTR-curve chart of actual vs expected CTR, position presets, topic-cluster and content-group filters, and the shared filter panel.
  • CSV and HTML export.

The estimates are modelled projections, not guaranteed gains.
