Analysis of your data on Google Search Console can provide some fantastic insights into what is actually going on within Google.

However, the insight at first is not intuitive.

We have put together a guide to take you through the steps to uncover relevant Google Search Console data and analyse for insights.

Each step is outlined as a simple process taking you through the steps to show the data.

You can then analyze the data on Google Search Console or download the data into excel, google sheets or your preferred analytical tool.

Analysis is broken into ten core types which are outlined in the next section.

Choose the type of analysis you wish to perform from the list below.

Then open up Google Search Console and follow the steps.

Analysis by Search Type Google Search Console provides search data for three forms of searches, web, image and video.

Compare Data Over Time Compare data over different time periods such as this month to last month or this month this year to the same month last year.

Change Analysis Identify changes in keywords, impressions, clicks and CTR.

Rankings Analysis Analysis of rankings for keywords, URLs (pages), devices and countries.

Click Analysis  Analyse clicks by keywords, URLs (pages), country and device.

CTR Analysis  Analysis of CTR by keyword, URL (pages), country and device.

Impression Analysis   Analyse impressions (searches) on Google – by keyword, URL (page), country and device

Link (external and internal) analysis   Analysis of links to your website from external websites and links within your website.

Search Type Analysis on Google Search Console

Search type refers to the search that takes place on Google.

The most common is a web search where you type in a keyword and a you get a Search Engine Results Page (SERP) showing the results for that keyword search.

However, you can also do shopping searches, image searches, video searches, news searches and more. 

Google Search Console provides data on three different types of searches – web, image and video.

If you are interested in shopping data please check out the omologist platform as we provide rank tracking for Google Shopping and Amazon by country, postcode, county, zip code, state or region.

Changing the Search type data on Google Search Console

There are many types of searches you can do on Google including web searches (default), image searches, video searches and more. 

Google Search Console not only provides you with data on keyword searches on the web, but also searches for images and video.

To look at this data on Google Search Console.

  1. Click Performance
  2. Click the pen image next to “Search Type” on the inside navigation top left.
  3. Choose the type of search results you want to analyse from Web (default), Image and Video.
  4. Click “Apply” in the pop up box bottom right corner.

Viewing your Google Search Console Data on the Omologist platform

You can view your data from Google Search Console on Omologist to gain further insights. 

As you look at each of the next topics on identifying trends, one of the downfalls of the way Google present the data is that you cannot see keywords, URLs and Countries together. 

By using Omologist you can see this data together and then download this data to analyse further in Google Sheets or Excel.

Here are a couple of things you can see on Omologist

  1. All our columns are sortable , so we can show you the keywords and their rank in each country and the numbers of impressions and clicks they are generating.
  2. You will see all countries and URLS and Keywords in one table, not four tables.
  3. You can download all this data and analyse.
  4. You can type in a keyword into the search box if you want to isolate the results to a single keyword.
  5. You can choose a single country to analyse or choose a group of countries.
  6. You can change the time periods you want to analyse the data over.

Compare Data over Time on Google Search Console

In order to generate insights into Google Search Console data you will want to compare data over different time periods. 

For example you may want to compare the last 28 days to the previous 28 days if you have been working on trying to get organic keywords to rank higher.

Or you may want to compare data for the same period this year as last year to understand what has changed and remove the impact of seasonality.

How to change the time period in Google Search Console for data analysis

Google Search Console provides a default period of 3 months. 

However, they provide many other options for both reviewing and comparing data across the three different search types.

To change the time period

  1. Click performance
  2. Click the pen image next to “Date” on the inside navigation top left.
  3. Choose the period which you want to analyse data for.
  4. Click “apply” at the bottom of the pop up box.

Impression Analysis on Google Search Console

Impression analysis provides us with actual data on the number of times our keywords are being searched on Google.

As Google provides country data you can break this down by country.

Further it does not matter what position your in because if you made the SERP even in position 150, Google records this so you get a clearer picture on the keyword volumes.

This is great data to work out what your high volume (lots of impressions) keywords are and provide an area of focus to improve your ranking.

Keyword Analysis

How to analyse a keyword

In this example we are going to do analyse a web search for a keyword, however, the process can be used for a video or image analysis as all are based on keywords.

  1. Click “Performance”
  2. In the top left choose the type of search, in this example “web” which is the default.
  3. In the box next to “search type: web”, click “date” and choose the period of time you want to analyse.
  4. Next to date, click “+NEW” and you should get a box as per the image below.  Choose “Query” and a new box should appear.  Alternatively if you see a keyword in the list you can just click that keyword and have the same result.

    Google Search Console Keyword Analysis

  5. In this example we are only going to look up the exact match keyword “omologist”.  Therefore we choose  “Query is exactly” and type in the keyword “omologist”.   Then click “apply” in the bottom right of the box.

    google search console exact match keyword

  6. In the chart and table you should now only see data for that “exact match” keyword.  If you click the boxes for “total clicks”, “total impressions”, “average CTR” and “average position” you will see all this data in the table for that keyword.
  7. To see what URLs or pages that our keyword links to on our website, click the tab at the top of the table that says “pages”.  You should URLs that the keyword links to.  If its a brand, you may have multiple URLs  as we do.  However, you may only see one URL.
  8. You may want to narrow you analysis down to a particular country.  There are two ways to do this.  First you can filter your search further by clicking “+NEW” on the top left next to Search Type, Query and Date.  The second method is to click the “country” tab and then click the country you want to analyse.
  9. You narrow the criteria further for example if you wanted to just look at mobile results.  To do so click “+NEW” to add further filters to your analysis.
  10. If you want to analyse thousands of keywords from Google Search Console our Omologist platform provides the mechanism to do so quickly.  To learn more visit our homepage.

Search Appearance

Search appearance provides the same data you get when looking a queries etc as we have done above, however, it provides this data for the specialised type of search results feature such as AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) or rich result types such as events, how-to or job listings to name a few.

If you are targeting rich results or have AMP pages to make the mobile experience faster, it is important to review the data and see how your efforts in these areas are performing.

Here is a screen shot of the Google Search Appearance types at the time of the article and you can see any updates Google make here.

Complete Guide to Google Search Console Analysis 2019

Below we will take you through how to get relevant data for a search appearance type.

Remember that search appearance is a subset of your data for a query, country, etc, so if your looking at a keyword/query and it has 10 AMP clicks this will be included in the data for the keyword/query for all clicks.

So if you wanted to say understand the number of clicks for a query NOT on a specialized search result you would need to do the analysis as we have done above and download that data and they do the search appearance version for each type (as we will show below) and download and then you could build a pivot table in Excel to do further analysis.

How to show the search appearance types for your website

First thing to say is that not all websites will have data for search appearance.

So if you don’t then this provides data in itself to implement AMP pages or target some rich search types relevant to your business.

If you have no data it will look something like this which shows no data but has the search appearance tab.
