Portfolio Performance Overview Report



The Portfolio Report is an Enterprise tool that provides management with the ability to analyze the performance of all SEO and online marketing campaigns on one screen.  This report contains many options for comparing baseline data to current data and viewing comparison change calculation, as well as a change per search engine.

This report is available in Enterprise accounts after the 5th of every month, displaying the previous month's data.

*Note: Every selected Change option in the Report Option > Display will display two columns( MoM Change and YoY Change) in case of the Compare to Past selected option is "MoM and YoY"

About Baseline Data
For campaigns that existed in Rank Ranger before the Portfolio Report was created, baseline data is set as of October 1, 2015 (or later if the campaign was created - or Google Analytics or Search Console {Webmaster Tools} was connected to the campaign - after October 1).
  • Page Rank, Average Rank, and Visibility Score are based on the last day of the report month.
  • Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools data are based on the previous calendar month.
If you have baseline data from a previous time period, Portfolio Report Baseline values can be manually changed in Campaign Settings > Portfolio Baseline.

Report Presets

The Portfolio Report places an abundance of rank and traffic metrics at your fingertips, but since it may not be comfortable to view dozens of columns across a screen, we recommend using Report Presets to create and save the settings for the variety of management reports you may need.
