Under the shared head (property, period, saved-report line: see [Performance](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/search-console)), two blocks: the bands, then the queries close to the top.

Numbered parts of the screenshot:

1. **Period.** The dates against the period before, and when the report was read.
2. **Queries by average position.** How many queries the period has. Each query once, in the band of its average position.
3. **Bands.** **1–3**, **4–10**, **11–20**, **21–50**, **51+**, each bar as long as its number of queries against the largest band.
4. **Band figures.** The queries in the band, and their clicks and impressions together.
5. **Close to the top.** Queries with an average position from 4 to 20, most impressions first.
6. **The list.** **Query**, **Average position**, **Impressions**, **Clicks**, **CTR**.

## The two blocks

| Block | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| Queries by average position: {n} | Every query of the period in one of five bands, by its average position. Beside each bar: the number of queries, then **{clicks} clicks · {imp} impressions**. |
| Close to the top: {n} | “Average position 4 to 20 — the lower half of page one and page two — with the most impressions first. A small improvement here moves clicks most.” Up to 100 queries. |

The bands are counted from the queries Search Console lists; queries Google keeps private are not among them. The same five bands are drawn on a log scale in [Visualisation](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/gsc-visualisation).

## States and messages

- **None near the top** — the app says: "No query sits between positions 4 and 20 in this period." Shown in place of the list.
