Average Position
Definition
Average position is the average ranking position of a URL or site in Google Search results.
Why It Exists
It gives a rough ranking signal for how visible a result is when it appears.
How It Fits Into The System
Average position is interpreted with queries, impressions, clicks, and CTR.
Important Details
It is an average across many searches, devices, countries, and result layouts. Treat it as a directional metric, not a precise rank tracker.
Example
Average position 8.2 means the result often appears around the first page, but some impressions may be much higher or lower.
