Overview

To edit a Visibility Index, click the more icon in the Actions column of the Visibility Index page and choose 'Edit Visibility Index' icon at the top of the Index:

From here, follow the same steps as the create new Index wizard:

Your Site

If you have opted to create a Performance Index you will be asked to add your Site.

If the Site you want to include isn't in the list, you can click Add Sites to bring them in.

Select your Site then click 'Next':

Sites to compare

If you are creating a Comparison Index you can add up to 12 Sites to your Visibility Index.

If you create a Performance Index you can add up to 11 Competitor Sites as your Site is included in the 12 Site limit.

You can add any extra Sites using the Add Sites button.

Once you have selected competitor Sites, click 'Next':

Search Data

  • Select up to 12 Search Term Groups to be included in the index

  • Select at least one Search Engine to be included

  • Choose a Primary Ranking Mode of either Classic Links or SERP features - this controls which SERP features count towards your index score

  • Advanced - choose which SERP features to include

When you have decided on the Search Data to include, click 'Next':

If using the advanced option, click the arrow to reveal the SERP features. Choose which ones to include using the tick-boxes:

Historical Data

The red vertical line shows the start date for the index - the green area shows the dates where 100% of data is available.

Either click on the chart to choose a date to start your index or use the date picker.

Once you have selected a data point, click 'Next':

Name and Description

Name the Index and add a description if necessary. Click 'Next' to continue

Review

Here you can review all the parameters set for your index including:

  • Your Site

  • Sites you are comparing

  • Search Data

  • Historical Data

  • General Details

If you are happy with everything you can click 'Next' to process the index (these can take a bit of time depending on the amount of data within the index)
