# Ranking overview

> Your tracked keyword positions summarized — distribution, movers, and AI Overview impact.

**Tracking → Overview** is the summary view of every keyword you track. It answers three questions: where do you rank overall, what moved, and are AI Overviews taking your traffic.

## Stat cards

| Card              | What it counts                                                                    |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Tracked** | Every tracked keyword, active and paused                                          |
| **Avg Position**  | Mean position across keywords that rank, to one decimal. `—` if nothing ranks yet |
| **In Top 10**     | Keywords at positions 1–10                                                        |
| **Ranking**       | Keywords ranking anywhere in the top 100                                          |

**Avg Position** excludes keywords that don't rank, so it improves when a keyword falls out of the top 100 entirely. Read it next to **Ranking** — the average is only meaningful if that count is holding steady.

## Position Distribution

A bar per position band, with the keyword count on the right:

* **#1 – #3**
* **#4 – #10**
* **#11 – #20**
* **#21 – #50**
* **#51 – #100**
* **Not Ranking**

The bands are **exclusive** — a keyword at position 2 is counted in `#1 – #3` only, not in every band below it. That's why the bars sum to your total tracked count, while the **In Top 10** stat card above sums the first two bands.

Bar lengths are scaled to the largest band, not to your total, so the biggest band always fills the row.

## AI Overview Impact

Two rates, based on whether Google returned an AI Overview for each tracked keyword on its last check:

**Trigger Rate** — the share of your tracked keywords where an AI Overview appeared at all. High trigger rate means AI answers are shaping the results you compete in.

**Citation Rate** — of the keywords that triggered an AI Overview, the share where **your domain was cited** in it. This is the number to move.

Both are shown as a percentage with the underlying counts beneath (`12 of 40 keywords`). Until the first rank check completes you'll see **No AI Overview data yet**.

<Note>
  Citation Rate is a percentage of triggered keywords, not of all keywords. A citation rate of 50% with a trigger rate of 4% means you're cited in half of a very small number of AI Overviews.
</Note>

## Improved and Declined

Two counts drawn from the ten most recent position changes — how many moved up and how many moved down. For the full list with date filtering, see [Position changes](/tracking/changes).

## Top Gainers and Top Losers

Two tables, up to five rows each, showing **Keyword**, current **Position**, and **Change**. Gainers are sorted by largest improvement, losers by largest drop. When there's nothing to show, you'll see **No gainers** or **No losers**.

These come from the same recent-changes data as the counts above, so on a brand new project both are empty until there's a second rank check to compare against.

## Changing the schedule

Click **Settings** in the page header to open the **Rank Tracking Schedule** panel:

| Field          | Options                              | Default                 |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Frequency**  | Every day, Every 3 days, Once a week | Every day               |
| **Check Hour** | Any hour, 00:00–23:00                | 00:00                   |
| **Timezone**   | Any IANA timezone                    | Your browser's timezone |

Click **Save Settings**.

The **Timezone** is applied — a check set to 09:00 with `America/New_York` selected runs at 09:00 New York time, and follows daylight saving.

Frequencies are real intervals measured from the last run, not calendar rules:

* **Every day** — every 24 hours at the chosen hour.
* **Every 3 days** — three days after the last run, not a fixed day of the month.
* **Once a week** — seven days after the last run, not a fixed weekday.

Lowering the cadence reduces how much of your keyword quota you consume. See [Usage and limits](/billing/usage).
