Search market share report
also called Share of search reportMarket position reportCompetitive share overview
The market-position index: your CTR-modelled share of tracked demand, the leader, the gap to the leader, and how both moved, sliced by intent, category, language or geography. It answers 'are we winning' at a level the keyword table cannot, and it catches the case that a clicks report hides entirely: growing in absolute clicks while losing share because the category grew faster. It is the single most-run family in the estate.
Who it is for, and what it settles
- Audience
- SEO lead
- Job to be done
- Establish where you stand against the tracked competitive set and whether your own movement or the market's moved the gap.
- Cadence
- Weekly
The metrics, in three tiers
Headline numbers carry the story. Diagnostics explain a headline that moved. Guardrails stop a wrong conclusion. Every row links to the definition, the formula, the caveats and what the metric is not all live on the metric page.

It reads the upper rungs only. If a lower rung is broken, fix that before you present this, a report that never checks whether pages can be reached will keep reporting movement that may not be yours.

What to say out loud when you present it
Share is meaningless without a segment, an unsegmented number silently averages across unrelated keyword sets. It is CTR-modelled from ranking position against a tracked competitor set, so it estimates share of that set's demand, not share of all search. The click total carried on the market-share table is a modelled figure and undercounts Search Console clicks materially; quote Search Console for clicks and this report for share.
