Description
The percentage of a website's targeted keywords that rank within the top 10 search results. This metric provides insight into the effectiveness of the SEO strategy in achieving high-ranking positions.
Why it is important
A high percentage implies that a significant portion of targeted keywords ranks within the top 10 search results, indicating strong SEO performance.

This metric provides insights into the competitiveness and relevance of the chosen keywords, guiding adjustments to the SEO strategy for better visibility and traffic.
Formula
(Number of TOP-10 Keywords / Total Keywords) * 100
Calculation example
If a website is targeting 50 keywords, and 15 of them rank within the top 10 search results, the calculation would be:
(15 / 50) * 100 = 30%
