Google Search Console Gain & Loss

The Search Console Gain & Loss report provides tabular Gain and Loss Search Query data for either Web, News, Images or Videos search results. The search results data is based on the rank position, impressions and clicks from the selected queries search type of the selected date range compared to the previous date range. Gain represents keywords with New impressions that did not receive in the previous date range. While Loss represents keywords that previously had impressions and were lost for the current selected date range.

Important! To view this report Google Search Console (Webmaster Tools) must be configured correctly, please refer to Rank Ranger's Search Console documentation.

New and Lost Queries

The New queries sortable table displays a list of keywords with impressions gained during current selected date range comparing to the previous date range. The Lost Queries table on the other hand displays the list of keywords that had impressions for the previous compared date range and had lost the impressions for the current selected date range. The data is collected from the Google Search Console Queries. The number of keywords could be changed by selecting the Limit Results from the Report Options (see below). Both tables present rank position, impressions and number of clicks for each keyword.

Clicks and Impressions Top 100

In these sortable tables the data collected from the Search Console Queries is broken down further into Increase and Decrease of the number of Clicks and Impressions for the selected data range compared to the previous data range.
In the Clicks -Top 100 table the Increase section of the table displays the increased number of clicks for the given keyword from the previous period. While in the Decrease section the negative number is displayed that represents the decrease in the number of clicks.
The Impressions -Top 100 table has the same logic as the Clicks table representing the impression Increase and Decrease.
