January 2026 saw Google Search Console report 277 clicks from 164,927 impressions, resulting in a 0.17% CTR and an average position of 19.85. Overall, visibility appears meaningfully higher than engagement, indicating many search appearances without proportional click-through, while rankings sit broadly around page two on average.
Key Takeaways
- Impressions were substantial relative to clicks, with a 0.17% CTR indicating significant headroom to improve search snippet performance on high-visibility queries.
- Clicks were highly concentrated in a small set of queries, led by “cold chain 3pl” (58 clicks, 15.76% CTR, avg position 5.66), while many other terms produced minimal clicks.
- Landing-page performance was also concentrated, with the homepage generating 121 of 277 clicks (~44%), suggesting reliance on a small number of entry points.
- Some informational pages attracted large impression volume but very low CTR (e.g., the pharmaceuticals cold-storage page with 8,655 impressions and 0.09% CTR), indicating an opportunity to better convert existing visibility.
- Rank tracking coverage was not usable for January because that data is still populating in this new report type.
Keyword Notes
Performance is currently driven by a narrow set of queries, with “cold chain 3pl” leading (58 clicks from 368 impressions, 15.76% CTR, avg position 5.66). Other notable queries skew more toward impressions than clicks, including “cold chain fulfillment” (299 impressions, 1 click, avg position 10.31) and “bigcommerce fulfillment services” (260 impressions, 1 click, avg position 19.83), suggesting visibility is more distributed than engagement across the query set.
Next Actions
- Test CTR improvements on high-impression, low-CTR pages by rewriting titles and meta descriptions, prioritizing URLs with thousands of impressions (e.g., the pharmaceuticals cold-storage page).
- Review Search Console queries with relatively strong average positions but low clicks (e.g., “cold chain fulfillment” themes) and adjust on-page headings/snippet-aligned messaging to better match the phrasing.
- Reduce reliance on the homepage by strengthening internal linking from it to the highest-impression service and partner pages to help distribute visibility and clicks.
