Portfolio Baseline Settings

You can update the following baseline values for each campaign in the Enterprise Portfolio Report:

Total Page Rankings on Page 1, 2, and 3 of the SERPs
Average Rank and Visibility Score Rank Metrics
Google Analytics Traffic: Total, Organic, and Paid
Search Console (Webmaster Tools) Queries, Impressions, and Clicks

Rank Ranger calculates rank data based on the last day of the previous month, and Analytics & Webmaster Tools data based on the previous calendar month.

If a campaign was created in January, then the baseline data will display in this report beginning on February 5th. For campaigns that existed in Rank Ranger before the Portfolio Report was created, baseline data is set as of October 1 (or later if the campaign was created - or Google Analytics or Search Console (Webmaster Tools) was connected to the campaign - after October 1, 2015).

This feature is available to customers with Enterprise packages and is found in Campaign Settings > Portfolio Baseline.
