At a glance

Country Growth breaks your organic-search performance down by country, one row per market, and shows how each market is trending. It tells SEO and content teams which territories are gaining or losing impressions, clicks and visibility in Google Search, so you can spot a market on the rise (worth localised content) or a market quietly slipping (worth a diagnostic) before it shows up in revenue.

What it tracks

This card reports Country Growth, broken down by row, where each row is a country as classified by Google Search Console. The underlying figures come from the Search Console Performance report filtered by the Country dimension, surfaced through the Search Analytics API (dimensions: ["country"]). Growth is the period-over-period movement in a market’s core organic signals (impressions, clicks and the resulting share of your search footprint), so a country climbing the table is winning more visibility while one falling away is losing it. Countries are reported using ISO 3166 three-letter codes in the API and rendered as readable country names in the card. Because the table is per-country, it is the natural companion to the device and page breakdowns when you are deciding where to invest localised content, hreflang or market-specific landing pages.

Reconciling against the source

Cross-check against Search Console, Performance, Search results, then the Countries tab for the same date range. Note GSC data is typically 2 to 3 days delayed, rare queries are anonymised (so small-market totals can read low), and both the UI and API cap at 1,000 rows, which mainly affects long-tail country lists.
