Overview & Executive

Weekly Digest

Weekly Digest compresses a full week of Search Console data into a single narrative brief. It compares the last 7 days against the prior 7 days and surfaces the five signals that matter most: the headline traffic delta, your biggest winner and loser page, a breakout new keyword, the size of your striking-distance opportunity, and your worst CTR anomaly. Use it as your Monday-morning starting point before diving into the underlying reports.

Summary tiles

Clicks (7d)

Total clicks in the last 7 days with the week-over-week percentage change. Green = up, red = down, grey = flat.

Impressions (7d)

Total impressions this week vs last week. Divergence from clicks (e.g. impressions flat but clicks down) signals a CTR shift worth investigating.

Striking distance

Count of queries ranking in positions 11–20 this week. These are your fastest ranking wins — track the number week over week to see if the opportunity pool is growing or shrinking.

New keywords

Queries appearing in Search Console for the first time this week. A rising count signals expanding content reach; a flat count on a growing site suggests the content mix needs widening.

Narrative bullets

Up to six bullets are generated. Each only appears if there is enough data to make the signal meaningful.

  • Traffic delta — Headline clicks and impressions change week-over-week, colour-coded green (>+5%), red (<−5%) or neutral. The percentage is rounded to one decimal place.
  • Top winner page — The URL whose click count increased the most versus the prior 7 days. Includes absolute delta and a note to replicate the playbook.
  • Top loser page — The URL whose click count fell the most. Includes absolute delta and prompts ranking, SERP layout and last-edit date checks.
  • Breakout new keyword — The new keyword with the highest impressions this week. Average position is shown; if it’s below 10 a dedicated landing page is suggested.
  • Striking distance count — A single line summary of how many queries are on the cusp of page one this week. Links to the Striking Distance report.
  • CTR anomaly — The highest-impression query whose click-through rate is below the expected curve for its position. Title/meta rewrite is the suggested fix.

How the comparison window works

The digest always compares the latest complete 7-day window (ending yesterday) against the immediately preceding 7-day window of equal length. There are no custom date-range controls on this report — it is designed to be glanced at weekly, not filtered.

What to do with it

  1. Scan the headline traffic bullet first. Green is good; red means go to Winners & Losers next.
  2. Open the loser page and cross-check with Content Decay, Index Coverage and recent changes in Change Events.
  3. If there is a breakout keyword at position <10, add it to this week’s content brief and consider a new supporting article or FAQ block.
  4. Click the striking-distance link and pick the top two queries for a title-tag push this sprint.
  5. If a CTR anomaly appears, rewrite its title/meta and log the change in Change Events.
