Query Details View
In this guide, we will discuss the Query Details View within SEOTesting, including what it is, how to access it on your SEOTesting account, and how to use it.
The Query Details View within SEOTesting is a report designed to help you deeply analyze the performance of your site in Google for a specific query.
Within the report, you will see:
The query you are analyzing.
A list of pages that have ranked for that query over the past seven days.
A chart showing the clicks per day for that query.
A list of related queries.
Within SEOTesting, queries are shown as blue links throughout the app and various reports. To access the Query Details View, click on any of the queries you see within SEOTesting, and you will be redirected to the Query Details View.

Run searches via Google, Reddit, and Quora for that query.
The icon on the right-hand side (the link icon) currently takes you to Ahref’s ‘Keyword Explorer’ for that query, but you can change this in your Website Settings.
