With the redesigned , users can effortlessly monitor their website's performance, gaining valuable insights into their SEO progress and achievements. Additionally, the provides a wealth of project status updates and essential setup information, making it easier than ever to stay organized and in control.

As we aimed to deliver an enhanced performance analysis experience to users, a range of new features and improvements have been incorporated into the redesigned Performance view as outlined below:

The progress in terms of rankings can now be checked for specific search markets, in addition to "all" search engines. The default search engine selection now displays the metrics computed for the first search engine of the project. When a user manually selects a specific market, their preference will be saved for future sessions, and the metrics computed for the manually selected search engine will be shown.

When a single search engine is selected, the metric will be shown as part of the Top Performers KPI. This metric represents the term with the highest Estimated Visits recorded for the main website within the selected time interval.

For "all" search engines, same as before, the will still be displayed as one of the Top Performers. The Best Market represents the search engine with the highest Visibility Percent recorded for the main website within the selected time interval.

The Ranking Distribution KPI, which displays the distribution and changes in top ranking positions, has been enhanced with the addition of the metric. This metric shows the across the selected search engine(s) for the latest update date within the chosen time frame. The changes are calculated by comparing the values recorded on the start and end update dates within the applied time frame.

Following the update two new performance KPIs were introduced: and .

The provides insights into the Global Difficulty score of the main tracked website. It takes into account the Domain Difficulty, URL Difficulty, and Content Score of the top 10 ranking results across the selected search engine(s).

The displays the number of keywords that have experienced an increase or decrease in their position on the selected search engine(s), comparing the start and end update dates within the selected time frame.

Additionally, within the Improved vs. Declined KPI, the metric was also introduced. This metric shows the number and percentage of keywords that the main tracked website is ranking for on the selected search engine(s) out of the total number of terms added to the project. This value is calculated for the latest update completed within the applied time frame.

The default mode for visualizing the ranking data has been updated to display the 's stats instead of the . Furthermore, we have introduced a new time frame option - - giving one the flexibility to choose between visualizing the data for the Last 2 updates, Last month, Last 3 months, or Last year. This enhancement allows for better customization and analysis of the performance metrics.

All metrics within the performance KPIs now reflect the current values, the ones recorded during the latest update. The changes in these metrics are calculated by comparing the values recorded at the start and end update dates within the selected date range. The start and end dates are displayed on the top right of each website card.

Previously, these metrics were calculated as a sum or average across all update dates in the selected interval. Now, the Visibility metrics align with the values reported in the Visibility section.

The exception to this is the Top Performers KPI, for which the calculation method remains the same as before. The top metrics of this KPI are calculated based on the estimated visits recorded across all updates within the selected interval.

After the redesign, the Management view offers a wealth of information in a more user-friendly interface. In addition to displaying the number of tracked keywords, search engines, and selected search depth for each project, one can easily access the following information:

By optimizing their postings for the Jobs feature, employers can increase their chances of attracting qualified candidates and filling the job openings quickly.

When someone searches for a specific job-related term, such as "marketing jobs" or "software developer near me", Google may display on its SERPs a pack of job openings deemed relevant to the search query.

Each of the job listings contains essential information such as the job title, company name, location, salary range, or the date the job was posted. A direct link to the company's job board, where job seekers can learn more about the job opening and apply if interested, is also included.

Once a keyword is identified as a brand term the "B" label will be displayed near it in all UI reports where the keyword appears.

In addition, the former Branded & Not-Branded keyword groups have been turned into dynamic groups and are now constantly updated based on automatic checks for branded terms (which take place once a month or every time new keywords are added to the project) and any manual user intervention (when the user manually marks the keywords as branded or not branded).
