EnglishVisibility
Visibility is a share of potential website impressions in Top for keywords added to the project, so many SEO‑experts consider it one of the most important metric in SEO.
How Visibility is calculated
To calculate Visibility, you need to know the position of the keyword, the CTR (click‑through rate) or “weight” that depends on the position, and the “[!Volume]” of the keywords ([Volume] for Google).

Visibility formula
- ∑ — sum of values;
- k — CTR;
- "[!Volume]" — volume.
For example, Visibility can be high if keywords in a project have low volume but high ranks. Low volume indicates that the demand for these keywords is low or tends to zero. Despite high Visibility, such project won't get much traffic from SEO.
CTR
Topvisor calculates Visibility based on the “weight” of the rank and keywords volume. Weight is a coefficient that is calculated according to the rule: the higher a website's rank in search results, the greater the weight.
| Top | CTR |
| 1‑3 | 1 |
| 4 | 0.85 |
| 5 | 0.6 |
| 6‑7 | 0.5 |
| 8‑9 | 0.3 |
| 10 | 0.2 |
| 11‑15 | 0.1 |
| 16‑20 | 0.05 |
| 21+ | 0 |
