Quarterly Snapshot



The Quarterly Snapshot is an Enterprise performance report that provides average rank per keyword and quarter, with delta for rank change trending.

A rank color scale feature creates a powerful visual of rank performance. Additional options include:
  • Keyword Baseline Rank: the rank on the 1st day the keyword was added to the campaign, or if the keyword did not rank within the maximum supported results tracked by each search engine (refer to our current list of supported search engines for rank depth and additional information), on the day it was added to the campaign, then Baseline displays the first rank recorded by Rank Ranger when it does rank.  
  • Baseline Date: the first date that the keyword ranked after it was added to the campaign
  • The Landing Page URL that ranked for the keyword on the last day of the report period
  • Keyword Tag filters that help organize report data by category
  • Report table filters that can be used to quickly locate specific results
This report is found in the Enterprise Management Reports section of Rank Ranger and can be added to white label Web Marketing Dashboards, Client Dashboards, and PDF Reports.

Rank Snapshot Report Filters

 
Tag and Table Filters
In this example, the report is using Tag filters to display only the keywords that are related to Hotels and Dining.  Rank results are refined further by filtering the table for keywords containing the word "best", providing an opportunity for analysis of specific rank data.

Adding Rank Color Scale, Baseline Date, and Baseline Rank
When viewing the table above without color and baseline data, the viewer might not understand why the keyword "best hotels" has N/A displayed for the Q1 2016 rank.  By switching on the Baseline Date, and Baseline Rank, one can easily determine that the keyword did not exist in the campaign until April 13, 2016, Q2. Switching on the Rank Color Scale enhances the impact of rank change.
