Ranking

Definition: A page’s ranking in the search results for a specific search query. Position 1 is at the top; page 2 usually starts at position 10.

Everyday analogy: Think of how products are arranged on supermarket shelves. Items at eye level sell best; hardly anyone notices the bottom shelf.

How we use this: We track rankings for specific keywords over time. Important: Improving rankings is a means, not an end, in the end, it’s the search queries that count.
