# Performance by Page Type, Google Search Console

> Groups organic-search performance by page type so you can see which templates earn your search visibility. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it.

**Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained)  •  **Category:** [Page SEO Performance](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type)

> A grouped-bar view that splits organic clicks, impressions, CTR and position by page type (category, product, blog, guide, home), so you can see which templates carry your search performance.

## At a glance

> **Performance by Page Type** groups your Search Console page-level data into template buckets and charts them side by side, so SEO and content teams can see at a glance whether category pages, product pages, blog posts or guides are winning organic search. It turns a flat list of URLs into a structural read on your site, telling you where the search visibility actually lives and where a template is underperforming.

## What it tracks

The card shows **Performance by Page Type for the selected period**. It takes the page-level organic data from the Search Console Performance report (clicks, impressions, CTR and average position by `page`) and groups URLs into page-type buckets using their path pattern, then renders each bucket as a grouped bar. The value is comparative: a template that earns most of your impressions but a weak CTR is a title-and-meta opportunity, while a template with strong position but few impressions is a content-coverage gap. There is no fixed alert on this card; use it to decide where to invest effort, then drill into the relevant page-level tables such as [Top Pages by Clicks](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/google-search-console/top-pages-by-clicks) or [Pages Gaining Traffic](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/google-search-console/pages-gaining-traffic).

## Reconciling against the source

Reconcile against **Search Console → Performance → Pages**, filtering by URL path (for example by adding a "URLs containing /product/" filter) to isolate each page type. Bear in mind GSC data is typically 2 to 3 days delayed, rare queries are anonymised, and the page list is capped at 1,000 rows, so very long-tail templates may be under-represented in the raw export.
