Visibility Index

The SISTRIX Visibility Index is a value for the visibility of a domain in Google’s search results. By using the Visibility Index, success in Google SERPs can be measured reliably and transparently.

The Visibility Index is a key-performance-indicator for the visibility of a domain (respectively the host, directory or URL for detailed-evaluations) in Google. It is calculated using the sum of all organic rankings within the Top-100 results – for a representative keyword-set which has been defined by SISTRIX. The rankings are weighted based on search-traffic and position per keyword.

  • Updated daily
