At a glance
Country Position Comparison charts your average Google Search position side by side across countries. It tells SEO teams which markets you rank strongly in and which lag behind, so you can prioritise the territories where a small ranking gain would unlock the most organic clicks. Lower positions are better (position 1 is the top result).
What it tracks
This card compares Country Position Comparison across items, where each item is a country and the bar is that country’s average position in Google organic search. The figures come from the Search Console Performance report with the Country dimension and the Average position metric enabled, surfaced through the Search Analytics API (dimensions: ["country"]). Average position is the mean ranking of your site across all impressions in that market, so a country sitting at 4.2 is, on average, near the top of page one, while one at 18.6 is generally on page two. Comparing markets exposes geographic strength and weakness: a home market ranking at 3 and an export market ranking at 22 points clearly to where localised content, backlinks or hreflang work would pay off. Read it together with the per-country click and CTR breakdowns, because a strong position only matters when it is converting impressions into clicks.
