  • Check frequency

  • Description
    The percent of your ad impressions that are shown anywhere above the organic search results.
  • Why it is important
    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.
  • Formula
    Impressions on top / Impressions
  • Calculation example
    Let's say your ad appears above the organic search results (on the top) 500 times, and overall, your ad receives 1,500 impressions.

    Impr. (Top) % = Impressions on top/Total Impressions × 100
    Impr. (Top) % = 500/1,500 × 100
    Impr. (Top) % = 33.33%
