Keyword Ranking Distribution
A count of how many tracked keywords sit in each position band, showing the shape of a site's visibility rather than a single average.
Analogy Mental model
A teacher's grade distribution: how many students scored above ninety, how many landed in the eighties, and how many are one mark short of passing.
In practice What you actually do
For a new site, the top three may be empty for months, so an average position figure makes the work look like nothing. A stacked bar showing keywords climbing from outside the top fifty into the top twenty and then the top ten tells the true story, and the band just outside the top ten is your target list for next month.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
The highest return available is usually in that near-miss band. Pushing an eleventh-place page to third costs far less than creating a new page from nothing, and the gain arrives sooner.
