Keywords

The time series graph can be switched to display the past week, past month, or past three months.
Position/Change
The Position column displays the ranking of your registered website for the keyword.
The rankings (Yahoo!, Bing) are as follows for each plan:
- Daily measurement: 1st-10th (1st-100th only on the 15th and last day of the month)
- Twice-weekly measurement: 1st-30th (1st-100th only on the 15th and last day of the month)
- Weekly measurement: 1st-50th (1st-100th only on the 15th and last day of the month)
- 4 times-monthly measurement: 1st-100th
- Custom measurement (customizable measurement frequency, measurement range, etc.)
*Anything outside the above range will be displayed as "Out of Ranking"
Please also check the "Basic Specifications" and "Basic Measurement Range" on the Plans page. > About Your Plan
If multiple URLs are ranked, the ranking of the highest ranking page will be displayed. (Ranks are measured in the morning depending on the measurement plan.)
The “Change” column shows how much the latest measured ranking has changed compared to the previous measurement. The display types are as follows:

SERP
If you would like to see the actual search results, not just the data on Nobilista, please use the "SERP" column. Search engine logos are displayed for each keyword. Clicking on these logos will allow you to access the search results for that keyword.
If you click too many times in a short period of time, your access may be blocked by the search engine. We ask that you keep your use of this column to a minimum.
Volume/ETV
The volume column shows the average number of times the keyword is searched for per month. For example, a search volume of 1,000 means that the keyword has been searched for an average of 1,000 times per month to date.
Search volume is only a guideline. For newly emerging keywords, there may be cases where the value is displayed as 0 because sufficient data has not yet accumulated.
The ETV column displays the estimated number of visits from search results for the keyword in a month.
This is calculated by multiplying the keyword's search volume by the expected CTR. Expected CTR takes into account not only search ranking but also the presence or absence of paid ads.
*Search volume may not be calculated correctly if the keyword contains special characters. Examples: ! @ % ^ () = {} ; ~ ` <> ? \ |
*Bing and Yahoo! are not supported.
SERP Features
The SERP Features column displays elements that appear in addition to organic search results.
Today's search results include elements such as ads, maps, and knowledge graphs in addition to organic search results. Displaying such elements is what makes a search result a feature.
Nobilista visualizes the following 37 types of elements.

Furthermore, if there are too many elements in the search results, even if your website is successful in ranking high, the click rate will decrease. You can expect to attract more traffic from SEO by appearing in search results with fewer such elements.
Competition
This indicates the business value of the keyword and the intensity of the competition in search results. It is displayed on a scale of 0 to 100, with the closer to 100 the more difficult it is.
*Keywords containing special characters may not be retrieved correctly. Example: ! @ % ^ () = {} ; ~ ` <> ? \ |, etc.
*Bing and Yahoo! are not supported.
Groups
The Groups column displays the group assigned to each keyword. The recommended way to set up groups is to separate keywords by category or directory. Try grouping them in a way that is easiest for you to manage.
How to set up groups is explained on the following page.
The URL column shows the URLs of pages that rank for the relevant keyword. For example, if five URLs from the same website rank for the keyword "nobilista reviews," all five URLs will be displayed. Also, if the target URL for a keyword isn't displayed, or multiple URLs are displayed, keyword cannibalization may be occurring.
*Keyword cannibalization: A situation in which multiple pages (URLs) compete for a single target keyword. When cannibalization occurs, SEO ranking is split among competing pages, which is undesirable from an SEO perspective.
Note
In the Notes column, you can leave notes for that keyword. It's easy to use. Click the pencil icon for the keyword you want to write a note about.
The note entry form will open, so start filling it out. Once you're done, click "Update."
By the way, keywords with notes written on them will have an icon next to them.
Please refer to the icon next to a keyword to see if you have written a note on it.
Location
The Location column will display the icon of the country you set when registering your website.
The rankings displayed in the keyword report will be the rankings for searches in that country. For example, if your country is set to "Japan," the rankings displayed will be for keyword searches in Japan.
Historical Data
If you'd like to view historical search ranking data, click the "Historical Data" button. A calendar will expand, so click on the desired date.
Historical data will be displayed in green columns.
Next to it, the ranking on the measurement date and the comparison with the previous measurement are also displayed, allowing you to see at a glance how the ranking has changed from past measurements up to the current one.
If you want to hide the column of past data, click the "x" next to the date.
Competitors reports
You can view the competitors reports by clicking the tab at the top of the detailed report.
Keywords
The Keywords column displays the keywords you have registered. Additionally, clicking on each keyword string will display a time series graph of your website and competing websites.

In the column where your website’s URL is displayed, you can see your site’s ranking for each keyword, the URL that is currently ranking, and the change from the previous measurement. Additionally, by clicking the button next to a URL, you can view all URLs and title tags that are ranked for that keyword.
Competitor sites
In the column where competitor URLs are displayed, you can see each competitor’s ranking for the keyword, the URL that is currently ranked, and the change from the previous measurement. Additionally, by clicking the button next to a URL, you can view all URLs and title tags that are ranked for that keyword.
LP reports
The LP reports can be viewed by clicking the tab at the top of the detailed report.

If the page containing the entered URL string is ranked 1st to 100th on the most recent measurement date *1
Other than the above
-
*1 If you enter "example.com/xxx/" as the preferred URL, pages whose URLs include example.com/xxx/, such as "example.com/xxx/●●●/" and "example.com/xxx/▲▲▲.php", will be targeted.
*This can be confirmed with the Business plan or higher.
Position
The position column displays your ranking for each date.
In the position column, the background color of the cells changes depending on your ranking for that day.
1st-3rd place: Green
4th-10th place: Yellow
11th-100th place: White
Out of range: Red
In addition, arrows will appear to indicate changes in ranking since the last measurement date, as shown below.
The ranking has improved since last time
The ranking has dropped since the previous year
Other operations
You can also change the period for displaying rankings using the form in the blue box in the image.
By selecting the date range you want to display, the dates will change automatically. Please use this according to the scope of your analysis.
Group reports
You can view the group report by clicking the tab at the top of the detailed report.
Group
The Group column displays the group names that have been pre-assigned to keywords. Additionally, clicking on each group name will display a time series graph of the average rankings for keywords within that group. See below for instructions on how to set up groups.
Clicking "Check" in the keyword-specific report column will take you to the keyword report. You can view a report narrowed down to that group.
By the way, keyword-specific reports use a group narrowing search (prefix match). So if there are groups such as "Stock Investment" and "Stock Investment Basics," viewing the "Stock Investment" report will also display the "Stock Investment Basics" group.
Please be careful when setting group names.
Average position/Change
The Average Position column shows the average search position for keywords within the relevant group. This average position will be displayed in the time series graph that appears when you click on the group name.
The “Change” value indicates how much the average ranking of the group has moved compared to the previous measurement. The notation follows the same format as the “Change” shown in the Keyword Report, as described below.
Movement Since Previous
Notation example
Rank Up
+5
No change

Total volume
The Total volume column displays the total search volume for the keywords in the group.
