The site dashboard

Open any site from your sites page to see its dashboard. Everything on it answers one question: how is this period doing compared with another period?

Read the page from top to bottom.

1. Header. The site name, the Search Console property it comes from, and the last day Google has finished counting (“final through”). While the history import is still running, the header says so. The arrow on the left returns to all sites.

2. Tabs. Overview, Queries, Pages, Countries & devices, Opportunities and Google updates (the last two are Pro). Your date range, comparison and filters carry over when you switch. See Site tabs. 2. Tabs. Overview, Queries, Pages, Countries & devices and Tests (Pro). Your date range, comparison and filters carry over when you switch. See Site tabs.

3. Date range and comparison. One row of buttons that every number on the page follows. See Date range and Comparisons.

4. Filters. When you click a query or a page in a table, a chip appears here and the whole page narrows to it. Remove it with its x. See Site tabs.

5. Number cards. Clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, each with its change. See Number cards.

6. Performance chart (Overview tab). A chart for each metric you have switched on. See Performance chart.

7. Queries and pages table. The searches and pages behind the numbers. See Queries and pages table.
