Performance Report

Understanding Metrics

Four Core Metrics:

1. TOTAL CLICKS
   Users who clicked to your site
   Most valuable metric
   Actual traffic from search

2. TOTAL IMPRESSIONS
   How many times your pages appeared in search
   High impressions, low clicks = CTR problem
   Shows visibility potential

3. AVERAGE CTR (Click-Through Rate)
   Clicks ÷ Impressions
   Industry average: 2-5%
   Position 1: ~30% CTR

4. AVERAGE POSITION
   Average ranking position
   Lower = Better (1 is best)
   Can be misleading (averaged)

Using Filters Effectively

Filter Dimensions:

QUERIES:
- What people searched
- Find keyword opportunities
- Identify CTR issues

PAGES:
- Which pages perform
- Find underperformers
- Track specific content

COUNTRIES:
- Geographic performance
- International SEO tracking
- Market opportunities

DEVICES:
- Desktop vs Mobile vs Tablet
- Mobile-first considerations
- Device-specific issues

SEARCH APPEARANCE:
- Rich results

- FAQ snippets

DATE RANGE:
- Last 7 days to 16 months

Finding Opportunities

Strategy 1: Quick Win Keywords
Filter: Position 5-15, Impressions > 100
Action: Optimize these pages for higher ranking
Why: Close to Page 1, just need push

Strategy 2: CTR Improvement
Filter: Position 1-3, CTR < 5%
Action: Improve titles and meta descriptions
Why: High position but low clicks = bad snippet

Strategy 3: High Impression, Low Click
Filter: Impressions > 1000, Clicks < 10
Action: Check why users not clicking
Why: Visibility without traffic = wasted

Strategy 4: Position Tracking
Compare: Last 28 days vs Previous 28 days
Action: Identify rising/falling pages
Why: React to ranking changes quickly

Strategy 5: New Keyword Discovery
Filter: Queries, sort by impressions
Look: For queries you didn't target
Action: Create or optimize content

FAQ: Google Search Console 2026

1. Berapa lama data muncul di Search Console?

2-3 hari delay untuk data performance:

Data Freshness:
- Performance data: 2-3 days delay
- Index coverage: Near real-time
- Core Web Vitals: 28 day rolling

Why Delay:
- Processing time
- Data verification
- Aggregation

Historical Data:
- 16 months retention
- Can't recover deleted data
- Export regularly if needed

For Real-Time:
- Use analytics for traffic
- GSC for search-specific data
- Combine both for full picture

2. Apakah data GSC 100% akurat?

Tidak—ada sampling dan rounding:

Data Considerations:

Sampling:
- Very high volume sites sampled
- Not every query/click recorded
- Representative, not complete

Rounding:
- Small numbers may be rounded
- Position is average (can be misleading)
- CTR calculated from rounded numbers

Privacy Filtering:
- Low-volume queries hidden
- Protects user privacy
- May miss long-tail data

Comparison to Analytics:
- GSC shows search data only
- GA shows all traffic
- Numbers will differ
- Both are valuable

Best Practice:
Use for trends and patterns
Don't obsess over exact numbers
Compare periods relatively
Combine with other data sources

3. Seberapa sering Google crawl sitemap yang di-submit?

Varies—but you can check:

Sitemap Crawl Frequency:

Factors:
- Site update frequency
- Site authority
- Sitemap size
- Historical patterns

Typical:
- Active sites: Daily
- Less active: Weekly
- Low priority: Monthly

Check Last Read:
Sitemaps → Click sitemap → See "Last read"

Speed Up Crawling:
1. Ping Google when updated
   https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=[sitemap_url]
2. Update lastmod accurately
3. Submit new sitemap version
4. Don't spam submissions

4. Bagaimana cara menghapus URL dari Google?

Beberapa metode tergantung situasi:

Temporary Removal (6 months):
Indexing → Removals → New Request
- Quick but temporary
- Use for urgent situations
- Will come back unless blocked

Permanent Removal:
1. Add noindex tag
2. Return 404/410
3. Block in robots.txt (won't de-index)
4. Request removal (optional speed up)

Outdated Content:
1. Update page content
2. Or remove page
3. Cache clears over time
4. Can request cache refresh

Remove from Sitemap:
- Won't remove from index
- But stops suggesting to Google
- Combine with other methods

5. GSC menunjukkan error tapi halaman terlihat fine—kenapa?

Beberapa kemungkinan:

Possible Reasons:

1. Cached Data
   - GSC shows old crawl data
   - Use URL Inspection → Test Live URL
   - See current status

2. Rendering Issues
   - JavaScript not executed
   - Content loads after timeout
   - Check rendered version

3. Mobile vs Desktop
   - Issue only on mobile
   - Test mobile specifically
   - Remember mobile-first indexing

4. Intermittent Errors
   - Server was slow/down
   - Error during crawl time
   - Check server logs

5. Redirect Issues
   - Temporary redirect problems
   - Chain causing issues
   - Test full redirect path

Debug Steps:
1. URL Inspection → Test Live URL
2. Check rendered HTML
3. Verify mobile rendering
4. Check server logs
5. Test from different locations
