At a glance
Clicks by Device splits your organic-search clicks across the trailing 30 days into mobile, desktop and tablet, shown as a share (pie) of the total. Most ecommerce search traffic is mobile-first, so this card tells SEO teams whether the device mix matches expectations and whether one device is under-performing relative to where it should be.
What it tracks
The card queries the Search Console Search Analytics API with the device dimension and theclicks metric over the trailing 30 days (30D), then draws each device’s share of total clicks. Google reports three device categories: MOBILE, DESKTOP and TABLET. The mix is diagnostic: if your site’s analytics say 70% of buyers shop on mobile but only 45% of your organic clicks are mobile, you may have a mobile ranking, snippet or usability gap holding back mobile discovery. A sudden shift in the split (mobile share falling week on week) often signals a mobile-specific regression, for example a mobile rendering issue, a mobile usability error, or a Core Web Vitals problem that hits mobile rankings first. Pair the click split with the device-level CTR and position cards to tell apart “fewer mobile impressions” from “same impressions, worse mobile CTR”.
