The Overview report is designed to aggregate all the available information into one single report.
It allows you to get two types of views for your websites:
-
A general view of your website's performance, including rankings, links and analytics all together: Evolution in time
-
Detailed views of your website rankings, by combining all three entities (Websites, Search Engines and Keywords): Keywords on rows, Websites on rows, Search Engines on rows, Keyword categories on rows
When one of the three entities is selected as input, the other two are presented as output. Example: If you select Websites as input, you will be presented with an Overview report that will contain Search Engines as columns and Keywords as lines. Add to this the ability to swap the columns and lines and you will have 14 Overview reports for your website rankings.
This is the most important report of all as it allows you to track simultaneously your website's evolution in rankings, links and traffic.
You are thus able to highlight important aspects such as the correlation between your keyword rankings and your website traffic, the revenue each keyword in your project drove for your online sales, the impact of your links over your website rankings or the evolution of your domain authority compared with that of your rankings.
On top of that, you will be able to compare your website's performance with that of your competitors and go deeper into analysis with detailed views, by search engines or by keywords.
There are four available views for the Evolution in Time report: Global, Search Engines, Keywords and Rankings. You can switch views from the drop down list, next to the report selection:
For each view, you will be able to select the items you wish to see in your chart:

Search Engines on Columns
This report is used to see how your keywords are ranked among the search engines. The report displays the position of your website for each search engines and keyword from your project.
Websites on Columns
This report is used to see how your website is ranked compared to your competition for the selected keyword, on each of your project's search engines.
Search Engines on Columns
This report is similar to the Overview Search Engines on rows - Websites on columns report above but with the columns and lines swapped. It is most useful in case your project contains many websites and only a few search engines.
Keywords on Columns
This report is similar to the Overview Keywords on rows - Website on columns report above but with the columns and lines swapped. It is most useful in case your project contains many websites and only a few keywords.

Keywords on Columns
This report is similar to the Overview Keywords on rows - Search Engines on columns report above but with the columns and lines swapped. It is most useful in case your project contains many search engines and only a few keywords.
Search Engines on Columns
This view is especially useful when you have a large number of keywords in your project and want to see their search engine rankings grouped by categories.
| Note |
|---|---|
|
If a keyword is assigned to multiple categories, it will be displayed in the report for each category, so you might see it multiple times. |

Each cell in the report displays a position depending on the selected input and report type. If there is a difference between the previous update and the current update, the cell will also contain information about what has changed. The change information is displayed as an icon placed to the right of the position. If you do not wish to see a comparison with a previous day, you can select "No selection" in the "Compare to" drop down box.
The change may contain the following items: "added", "dropped", "moved up" and "moved down". For the "moved up" and "moved down" changes, the number of places your URL has moved up or down is also displayed. A blue dash is displayed if there is no change (see the Not changed icon below).
The following icons may also appear in the Overview report:
 | Not updated - This icon appears when no data exists for this search engine and keyword combination in the database for the selected day. |
 | Not found - This icon appears when the selected website could not be found in the search engine results within the selected search depth. |
 | Not changed - This icon appears when there is no change between the previous date and the currently selected date. |
Sorting and Selection
You can sort any column in the report by clicking on the corresponding column header. This will sort the items in that column ascending or descending. For Keywords, you have advanced sorting options in the [Project] -> [Keywords] menu. The Overview report will display the keywords in the same order they appear in the Project Settings menu.
You can sort the data in each column by the number of changes. For this, instead of left clicking on the column header, right click on it. (Mac users should use Ctrl+Click instead.) A colored arrow will appear instead, with the following meanings:
-
A green arrow will sort the numbers ascending with the highest rise at the top and the highest fall at the bottom
-
A red arrow will show the numbers descending with the highest fall at the top and the highest rise at the bottom.
Each cell in the Overview report can lead you to the page in the search engine where that data was found. Simply double-click on the cell representing the position of your website on the selected search engine and a new browser window will open with the actual results from the search engine.
Filters
There are two types of filters available: filters that affect the first column of the table (which may contain websites, search engines or keywords) and filters that affect the other columns (which contain position data).
To apply a filter on the text of the first column use the Filtering field at the top right corner of the inputs area. You can also use the filtering field available in the header of the correspondent input, to trim out the content of this column.
To apply a filter to the columns that contain position data, use the Filters drop down. If a filter is applied and at least one item (on a column) matches the filter, then the entire line will be displayed, regardless if the data from the other columns match the filter or not. If you would rather not see the data that is not matched by the filter, you can check the "Show empty cells for filtered data in Overview reports" option in the [Settings] -> [Printable and Interactive Reports] -> [Common Reports Settings] menu.
Gain/Loss
At the bottom of the Overview report you will find two lines of additional information: Gain/Loss and Net Gain/Loss. These two lines display an aggregate information about the changes in each column of the report. For example, if you have one keyword that went up 5 positions, one that went up 2 positions and one that went down 4 positions, the Gain/Loss attribute, which is the sum of all the keywords that have changed, would display up 1 position because there were 2 keywords that went up and only one that went down.
The Net Gain/Loss is the same as Gain/Loss but it counts the number of positions that the keyword went up or down instead. So for the example above, you would have a Net Gain/Loss of +3. The calculation is: 5 + 2 - 4 = 3.
Overview Report Filters
The "Filters" drop-down list box in the top right corner of the Overview Report allows you to filter the data by using the criteria you are interested in. The following filters are available:
-

Displays everything, every URL and change available.
