The Keyword Report is a key feature of Nobilista.
This page explains how to view and use each item in the Keyword Report.

Table of Contents

Keyword Report

Graph

グラフ

The number of keywords in the following search ranking ranges is displayed for each measurement point.

  • 1st-3rd place
  • 4th-10th place
  • 11th-30th place
  • 31st-50th place
  • 51st-100th place
  • Out of range

You can specify a time period by clicking the "Set the time period" button above the graph.
You can also hide the graph display by clicking the numbers (1-3, 4-10, etc.) at the top of the graph.

The table on the right shows how the number of keywords in each ranking range has changed from the previous measurement to the most recent one.

Keywords

Keywords01

The Keyword column displays the keywords you've registered.
Also, if you click on each keyword string, a time series graph will be displayed.

Keywords02

The time series graph can be switched to display the past week, past month, or past three months.

Position/Change

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:

Movement Since Previous Notation example
Rank up +5
No change 0
Rank down -3

SERP

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

Volume/ETV01

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.

Volume/ETV02

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

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

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

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.

Editing website information and adding keywords

URL

URL01

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

Note01

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.

Note02

The note entry form will open, so start filling it out.
Once you're done, click "Update."

Note03

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

Location01

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.

If you want to hide the column of past data, click the "x" next to the date.

Report by keyword

Clicking "Check" in the keyword-specific report column will take you to the keyword report.

By the way, keyword-specific reports use a group narrowing search (prefix match).

Please be careful when setting group names.

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.
