Google Search: CTR vs Position Analysis (Premium)

When embarking on an SEO review for a website, it helps to be able to see what queries are already ranking and how successful they are (click-through rate) at generating traffic. This workbook lets you easily visualize the queries that a specific page ranks for, contrasted to the click-through rate for the past 90 days.

Requires: Analytics Edge Core Add-in with Google Search connector
Download the workbook: GoogleSearch-CTRAnalysis-2-0.xlsx

  • stop the macro if there was a query error (no results)

  • arranges the columns in a specific order (dropping the ‘query’ column)
  • combines duplicate ‘page’ rows, summing clicks and impressions
