Frequently asked questions
Does the Visibility Index equal traffic?
It measures search visibility in a defined query sample. Use analytics for actual visits.
Can the history prove why a drop occurred?
It helps identify timing and impacted terms. Investigate site changes and competing explanations.
Can I compare visibility across different kinds of websites?
Use comparable search markets and scopes. A sitewide total and a single product directory answer different questions.
How do I check whether a single query drives an observed movement?
Inspect ranking history and compare the movement with other queries for the same pages.
How do I choose competing domains for Link Opportunities?
Select sites whose offer and visible pages match the market, then verify useful referring pages yourself.

What should I check next?
How can I isolate a drop after a category redesign?
Compare the old and new directory scope and check the individual queries that changed.
What evidence should I attach to a visibility hypothesis?
Record the date, affected URLs, query examples and an independent measurement.
What is the difference between the keyword table and the Visibility Index?
The table shows individual terms and rankings. The index summarizes sampled organic visibility.
How do I separate a real segment decline from a sitewide average?
Compare the affected directory with another stable section and review ranking URLs for a sample.
When do I pair SISTRIX with a crawl tool?
Use visibility history to identify the affected URLs and a crawl to check current technical conditions.
Which reports should I identify before choosing a plan?
List target countries, historical comparisons and the SEO or link reports you expect to use.
Who needs a visibility timeline more than a single rank check?
An analyst explaining effects around a release, seasonal change or longer-running trend.
