To keep track of your website's success in search engine rankings, you can set up "triggers" in the Position Tracking campaign settings that will send you emails when your site reaches a certain threshold. You can customize email notifications when a competitor's website or your website's rankings change by a certain amount or reach a specific threshold in the SERP.

What Exactly is Visibility%?

Visibility measures how frequently people find your website on the Internet. For the target keywords presently being tracked in the campaign, Semrush offers a statistic called Visibility% observed that we use to assess a website's visibility trend.

The click-through rate (CTR), which displays a website's advancement in Google's top 100 for keywords from the current monitoring campaign, is the basis for visibility%. The visibility measure displays the domain's visibility among users searching for the campaign's keywords. The more users that search for the supplied keywords will see the domain, the greater the percentage.

If this percentage is 100%, all of the Project's keywords are being placed in the top position by the domain, subdomain, or URL being tracked. The Visibility% will decrease as the website's ranking pages drop farther down in Google's rankings.

Use this as an Illustration

Say two websites are among the top 100 for two keywords. The first site's keywords are positioned at positions 1 and 100, whereas the second site has both at positions 50. Each location would have an average ranking of 50.

However, because the first site is in the top spot for one of the keywords, its exposure would be substantially higher than the second site's. The average position for both continues to be 50 at the same time.

Because of this, comparing the visibility of these two sites rather than their positions gives a more accurate picture of their keyword situation.

The more your exposure, the more excellent your opportunity to attract new users to your website. So when evaluating the performance of an SEO or PPC campaign, visibility% in Position Tracking is an excellent measure to use.
