Google Search Console - Click Count Inconsistency

[a_toohill]

In Google's search console I see a discrepancy between click counts.

At top I see this here and then beneath I see these kinds of numbers for click counts here.

So the top click count says 252 and the bottom section appears to only shows less than 40.

Probably a simple explanation here that I'm just not seeing.  Thanks!

Hi Andrew.

In all likelihood, the keywords that you are getting from Google are not set and cannot be shown to you due to privacy reasons or are too low in search volume to be included in search tools.

It isn't a contradiction, those clicks exist: simply choose PAGES instead of queries in the top to see how it breaks down on a URL basis. You can check it in an excel download the file in CSV (or google spreadsheet). This will prove that the result of the sum is the same.

Google simply choose not to or cannot show you those keywords.

If the answer were useful do not forget to mark it as a Good Answer. Thanks!
