Search Console Click Through Results
-
Hi Moz Community,
I've newly started using Google's search console on a regular basis, and I have a query about the results coming from the platform.
For example, I added this article URL to the console with field "URL containing" and "URL exact", and the results showed 71 clicks and 436 impressions over 12 months.
However, when looking at the queries that show in the results to see where the clicks are coming from, all of them state there's no clicks from the dozen or so queries that show.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a field I need to fill in to show more results/top results? I've tested a few article URL's and the same has happened.
Thanks in advance for any help.

No problem, thanks a lot for your advice and if I get an answer I'll be sure to post back on here for you!

That is actually really, really weird! I am sorry that I don't have an answer for you. What would be really cool, would be if you posted the Search Console bug on Google's Webmaster Central help forum. A Google rep or someone from the wider community may reply. If someone from their side does crack it, I'd be interested to hear the update here on Moz's forums

Thanks for your response.
Following what you’ve said, we can see the results of clickthroughs and impressions to our web page, stating there are 71 clickthroughs. Screenshot - https://imgur.com/BJHeyYp
However, when we review the queries section for the same page, it states there are no clickthroughs for any of the queries showing. Screenshot – https://imgur.com/YKJbaut (8 of 8 queries shown).
This seems odd to me, and my question is where can we see the queries that resulted in the clickthroughs to this page, if they’re not showing here?

1.) Select a web property in Google Search Console (remember that 'www' usage, protocol and HTTP vs HTTPS usage all render as different web properties in Search Console)

2.) Don't go into "Search Analytics", go into Google's new "Performance" report instead

3.) Click to browse pages, apply a filter here if it is your desire to do so (but it is not required, this can all be done with the mouse only). Once you find the page you want, click on it

4.) Once the page you want to look at has been 'clicked' and only that page is visible, go back to query data

5.) Check out the query data, which is related only to your chosen page

And that's that!

Google inaccurate results: Common or error?
Hi all, While searching for our primary keyword, I can see 2 websites on second page results which are non-related to the keyword or industry but their company name is this keyword. Like if I want to rank and searching for "SEO", there are 2 websites which called "seo trucks" and "seo paints". I wonder how Google is ranking these websites for high competition keyword with 1 million searches per month. So the keyword in URL and this keyword mentioned across the website being their brand name taking over the other potential ranking factors like backlinks, relevant content, user clicks, etc..... Thanks

Would having links on wikipedia help search engine rankings?
I am wondering that having a listing on Wikipedia would help search engine rankings in general? I know all of the Wikipedia links are no-follow links but I think it'd still help to rank higher on search engines. What are your thoughts?

Category Containing a Product searched shows up higher in google then the product page itself?
Hello Moz Wizards, We have recently launched a new eCommerce website www.memoky.com and think we did a pretty good job with the markup structure for feeding the hungry google bot all information available about a the products. However google doesn't like us very much : ( It seems every time you google a product that we carry; the category pages that contain that product will show up, but the product page itself does not. Below are two examples, however this seems to be site-wide which makes me feel like there is an underlying issue that we are missing. Examples

Getting listed in the Google local result - help!
Good day, I'm really struggling to get a client to appear in the Google Local map snapshot (on the right of the SERPs), even when their company name is Googled. I've tried everything including getting the main Google Local account verified, had some reviews put up, all the required and relevant info has been completed, yet their location and the map never appear. Any help out there as to how I can remedy this? Thanks

New visual search results - what is this and how do we optimize for it?
Hi all, This morning as I am doing some keyword research for a new client, I typed in the phrase and Google returned both the listings as well as a vertical photo bar. I've never seen this before. Is this new? Is it common and I've just missed it? I presume this means we need to really have our photo alt tags 'ducks in a row' but I'm also wondering if this points to an increased importance on visual content? Image attached. Thanks, YINd14d

Author Photo No Longer Showing Up in Search
My author photo has been showing up in search for quite some time but starting today I noticed that it no longer does even though the structured data testing tool still has it showing up. It only seems to show up on my google+ profile. Anyone notice the same thing?

Retail Searching Patterns
Does anyone have empirical data regarding the pattern in which a consumer shops for an item? I would like to find some information regarding whether consumers search for a product first then find a place that sells it or the opposite. I tend to see the organic SEO net focusing more upon company name visibility and not, say for example, the top ten products they sell. It is not always the case but I see with bigger and bigger companies that they seem to rely more heavily upon company name recognition. Any thoughts?
