Impressions

In SEO, an impression is recorded every time a URL from your website appears in a user’s search engine results page (SERP), regardless of whether the user actually clicks on the link. Impressions are a leading indicator of organic visibility and keyword ranking growth. By tracking impressions in Google Search Console, SEOs can identify pages that are successfully ranking for high-volume terms but failing to capture clicks. Impression data pinpoints exactly which title tags and meta descriptions need to be rewritten to aggressively increase click-through rates and capture traffic that rankings are already earning.

Impressions Simplified

An impression simply means that your website showed up on someone’s screen when they searched Google. Even if they did not click on your link, just appearing in the search results counts as one impression.
