In plain English

How often and where a website or its pages can appear for relevant searches, considered across suitable queries and contexts.

Why it matters

This instrument can help answer a focused measurement question when it is connected to a real objective and read alongside relevant context.

Example

A small organisation records this signal for a defined page and period, then compares it with related instruments before deciding whether to investigate a change.

Common misunderstanding

Visibility is broader than one ranking and does not by itself prove useful visits or business outcomes.
