How do I use the Performance report in Google Search Console?
Performance Reports & Data
Click "Search results" in the left sidebar to see your Performance report. It shows:
- Total clicks, impressions, average CTR, and average position
- Queries tab - which search terms bring traffic
- Pages tab - which pages perform best
- Countries, Devices, Search appearance - breakdowns by dimension
Use the date range and filter options to drill into specific time periods, queries, or pages.
