Domain Overview

The first box at the top left shows you the daily Visibility Index (VI) value for both Desktop (top) and Smartphone (bottom), with the difference to yesterday’s value in percent. The VI is the core metric of a domains visibility (or optionally, host, directory or URL) and it’s evaluated from the rankings found within a representative keyword set. Each ranking is weighted by position and search volume and added together to create the final figure.

Extensive information on the Visibility Index can be found in this article: SISTRIX Visibility Index – Explanation, Background and Calculation.

The Visibility Index displayed is continuously updated with new ranking data. If you hover over the value with your mouse, you can see the exact time of the last update. The VI displayed here is based on measured rankings for mobile results for the selected country.

VI rank: the Visibility Index rank shows you the position of the most successful domains for the examined domain. For this purpose, all domains with a measurable Visibility Index are sorted in descending order every day.

Keywords

This box gives you a quick overview of the number and orientation of the rankings of the examined domains (or host, directory, URL). The first line (global) shows how many different rankings can be measured in SISTRIX across all countries.

The second line (default country, as per user settings) then shows you how many keyword rankings were measured in the country. Clicking on the numbers takes you directly to the keyword table with the exact keywords and rankings. Learn more about our SERP database.

The third line tells you the search intent of the keywords. The blue bar shows you right away whether most keywords have a “do”, a “know”, a “website” or a visit intent. If you hover over the bar with your mouse, we will show you more precise numbers.

Traffic estimation

This box shows estimations about the traffic of the domain (or host, directory, URL when doing deeper analysis). The value given for Organic traffic in the first row is our estimate of the average monthly traffic that can be generated by the keywords found. More on traffic estimation.

The second row, Organic traffic value, shows you, based on Google Ads CPC values, how much money you would have to spend to buy this organic traffic in the paid areas of Google search results.

In the third line of the box you can see how the device distribution of the examined domain looks like. What percentage of users come from desktop, mobile or tablet? This data is not available for all domains.

Links

Here you can see the most important link metrics for the examined domains (or host, directory, URL) at a glance. If link metrics have not yet been determined for a domain, you can trigger this with a click here.

In the first row you can see the number of different referring domains: one of the most important metrics for links. How many different domains link to a website. The second line then shows you the total number of links: how many links refer to the domain.

In the third line you can then analyze what proportion different top-level domains (such as .com) make up in the link profile of the examined domain. Here, too, you can see further details and data if you move the mouse over the line.

Top Paths, Hosts and URLs

Often some specific content formats of a website are better accepted by Google and the users than others. This pie chart shows the most successful directories, hosts and URLs according to the number of organic ranking keywords, and is based on keywords in our extended database using the Mobile-First search results.

To create this chart we consider the number of different ranking keywords per URL, directory and hostname.
