Visibility Trend
Visibility trend shows how keyword rankings and page-one visibility changed each day of the selected period. Dated notes on the chart record events that help explain the movement.
What the chart shows
The chart has two lines on a 0–100% scale.
| Line | What it measures each day |
|---|---|
| Keywords ranking | The share of keywords scheduled for a check that day which ranked in positions 1–100 |
| Page-one visibility | The share of tracked monthly search volume attached to keywords ranking in positions 1–10 |
Each day stands alone: the value uses that day's completed checks only. Page-one visibility is weighted by search volume, so keywords without a recorded volume add nothing.
The chart covers the selected period only; it has no comparison line. The note beneath the chart shows the latest date included, for example Daily results through 15 Sep 2026.
Read the chart
Hover over the chart to see both values for a date, to one decimal place.
Where a day has no results, the line joins the days either side. A straight segment between two dates therefore shows missing data, not a steady value.
The chart reflects the selected market, category and search engine.

Who sees notes
Permissions are workspace-based. Notes on this chart are shared with everyone in the workspace who can access the market, and any of them can delete a note.
Notes belong to the market. They appear whichever category or search engine is selected, and only when their date falls within the selected period.
Notes on this chart are separate from notes on a keyword's ranking history.
Notes can be added and shown only for active markets.
Troubleshooting
No visibility history was found for this selection
The market has no completed results in the selected period for this category and search engine. Choose a different period or check the market's ranking checks.
The line jumps sharply between days
Each day uses only that day's checks. Compare the day with Current ranking distribution and Keyword performance to see which keywords changed.
A straight line crosses several days
No results were recorded for those days, so the line joins the nearest days with data.
A note is missing
Check that the note's date is within the selected period and that the same market is selected. Notes do not appear on inactive markets. If Annotations could not be loaded. appears, refresh the page.
