How It Compares to the Alternatives

Search Console provides the original report and filters. A spreadsheet can reproduce the formula; this analyzer adds local import, validation, a prioritized table and a ready-to-download review list without connecting a Google account.

An editable CTR scenario

A 3% target is the starting input, not a benchmark. Branded searches, mobile results, ads and AI features can have very different click behavior. This calculation holds impressions constant and makes no prediction about future position or search demand. Totals are calculated from the imported rows before filtering; scenario totals apply only to the filtered rows.

Current CTR = clicks / impressions × 100
Scenario additional clicks = max(0, round(impressions × target CTR / 100 − clicks))

Worked Step-by-Step Example

Current CTR = 3 / 900 × 100 = 0.33%. Scenario clicks = 900 × 0.03 = 27. Additional clicks = 27 − 3 = 24.

Popular Use Cases

• Case 1
  Export a consistent segment: Open Performance → Search results in Search Console. Select the date range, country, device and search type. Export the Queries or Pages table as CSV.
• Case 2
  Find a small review queue: Start with positions 4–20 and enough impressions to matter for your site. Reduce the minimum impressions for a new site. Review the ten most promising results before expanding the list.
• Case 3
  Check intent before editing: For positions near the top ten, compare the title and snippet with what the query asks. For deeper results, check whether the page answers the task, provides useful examples and receives relevant internal links.
• Case 4
  Record and compare: Download the list, record which pages changed, then compare equal periods with the same filters. Consider seasonality and query mix before attributing a change to an edit.
