Percent / Ratio

More - better

Weekly

The percent of your ad impressions that are shown as the very first ad above the organic search results.

You can use these metrics to understand changes in click-through rate (CTR) caused by a change in the location of your ads on the search result page.

We don’t recommend you use these metrics as a target to set your bids because, sometimes, they may decrease as bids increase. This happens as higher bids may allow you to enter more competitive auctions in a worse location.

Let's say your ad appears at the absolute top of the search results 300 times, and overall, your ad receives 1,000 impressions.

Impr. (Abs. Top) % = Impressions on the absolute top/Total Impressions × 100
Impr. (Abs. Top) % = 300/1,000 × 100
Impr. (Abs. Top) %=30%
