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!

Huge difference in browser and search console rankings: Any latest updates?
Hi, We know that it's common to see some ranking difference in browser and GSC for a keyword. But I can see there is a huge difference from last 3 months. We position at 15 to 20th position when we search in browser (different IPs without signing in to any Google account; where as the rank in GSC varies between 35 around. I wonder if anything changed in the way Google reports and does anybody face the same issue? Is there anything we can do about this? Thanks

Google Search Analytics desktop site to losing page position compared to the mobile version of the site
Looking at Google Search Analytics page position by device. The desktop version has seen a dramatic drop in the last 60 days compared to the mobile site. Could this be caused by mobile first indexing? Has Google had any releases that might have caused this?

Can I use schema markup for my Trustpilot results?
Hi we have excellent Trustpilot reviews & want to know if we can include these in schema markup in order for the results to show in SERPs? The Trustpilot results show in PPC but not SERPs. A competitor looks to have no Trustpilot or other independent reviews but is showing 5 stars in SERPs, i also cant find any customer reviews on their site, it looks to be just coding that is driving the SERPs view? Their site is goldencharter.co.uk Any thoughts much appreciated Thanks Ash

Please help explain this (Question about search results)
What's up SEO's, I'm new the SEO world and had a quick question. I just installed the MOZBAR and did a google search: "What is Google Voice" I attached an image of the results I received. Can someone explain how MacWorld's article outranked Google's when both Google's Page Authority and Domain Authority are so much stronger than MacWorlds. This is in addition to google having many more links. This is basic, but any insight will be very helpful. Thanks guys!

Seo results are down. Is my "all in one seo pack" to blame?
My website www.noobtraveler.com has shown a dip of 40% since Penguin's last update in November. I also transferred hosting at time, but I was wondering if I'm over optimizing with the all in one seo pack. I would appreciate it if someone could do a quick sweep and share their thoughts. Thanks!

How to prevent my search results being affected by the previous searches I have made ?
How to ensure that the search I have made is not based on my past search history and the results in my cache ? I don't want to sign out of Google every time and then clear my cache. Does Incognito Mode in Google Chrome work or is there any other way of making my search results unbiased ?

Today all of our internal pages all but completely disappeared from google search results. Many of them, which had been optimized for specific keywords, had high rankings. Did google change something?
We had optimized internal pages, targeting specific geographic markets. The pages used the keywords in the url title, the h1 tag, and within the content. They scored well using the SEOmoz tool and were increasing in rank every week. Then all of a sudden today, they disappeared. We had added a few links from textlink.com to test them out, but that's about the only change we made. The pages had a dynamic url, "?page=" that we were about to redirect to a static url but hadn't done it yet. The static url was redirecting to the dynamic url. Does anyone have any idea what happened? Thanks!
