The mean ranking of your pages in search results across the queries and periods measured.
Average position is the averaged rank at which your listings appeared for the queries in a given report, weighted across all impressions. Because it blends many queries and fluctuating rankings, it is best read as a trend indicator rather than a precise position, and it can be distorted when new queries enter or leave the set. Segmenting average position by individual query or page gives a far more actionable view than a single site-wide figure.
