Intepreting your test results

Interpreting your test results:


From the Launchpad, click 'Tests' on the left-hand toolbar. Here you will see all of your tests and their results listed.


From here, you can get a really quick AI summary of any of your tests. To do this, click on any test and hit the 'AI Summary' button on the top right:




You'll get back a full analysis that covers:


  • A clear verdict: successful, inconclusive, or failed - with an explanation of why
  • A metric-by-metric breakdown across clicks, impressions, queries, CTR, and position
  • Seasonality checks - if your test ran over Black Friday or Christmas, it'll flag that
  • Causation vs correlation analysis - the bit that's hardest to do yourself
  • Actionable SEO takeaways you can apply immediately



This can be downloaded as a formatted PDF by selecting the 'Download PDF' button at the bottom of the report.

There's also a client-ready summary (around 150 words) you can copy with one click and drop straight into an email, a Slack message, or a LinkedIn post.


Back on the main test results screen, you'll see a results table that presents the main performance metrics SEOTesting tracks and measures:


  • Clicks Per Day: the number of clicks the test pages/queries get daily.
  • Site Clicks Per Day: the number of clicks all pages on the site get from Google.
  • Impressions Per Day: the number of impressions the test pages/queries get daily.
  • Average Position: the average position of the query/pages.
  • Click Through Rate: the CTR of the test query/pages.
  • Queries Per Day: the number of queries the test pages rank for per day.



When Google Analytics 4 tracking is enabled, additional GA4 data appears below the results table, providing deeper insights into user behavior.

The SEO test results page also shows a graph for each metric to visualize its performance over time, with a vertical line marking the test start date. You can switch on to view Clicks, Impressions, Position, CTR and Queries by clicking the relevant ones for you (located under the x-axis of the graph):




At the bottom of the page, you'll find statistical calculations that help determine the significance of your test results. This includes the p-value to interpret the statistical validity of your findings:
