Highlighted rows fall inside the two compared weeks.

Clicks are exact settled property totals for each seven-day window. CTR and average position are rounded to one decimal place, and a lower position number means the site appeared higher in results. Daily figures are available above; page addresses and the property identity are not published.

Connecting implementation dates with a stable baseline is what makes a search result worth reading. Each window here is a complete week of settled figures, so the comparison never rests on a single strong day.

How to read the result

Clicks count visits from Google search results. Impressions count how often the site appeared in them. Click-through rate is clicks divided by impressions, and average position is weighted by impressions, so a lower number means the site appeared higher.

The strongest settled click day in this period was 26 September 2026, with 267 clicks. The headline still uses two complete weeks rather than one strong day.

Source and limits

These figures are Client C's own Google Search Console property totals, captured on 2 October 2026. Days after 26 September 2026 are excluded while the data settles. They record what changed after the work began: an association, not a guarantee of future rankings or traffic. The tables list the measures that improved between the compared windows.

Names, domains, page addresses, customer records and the commercial niche are withheld.

Plan SEO around your own baseline

Our SEO services start with the commercial goal and the site's current position. Compare this result with the organic search growth case study, and if implementation also needs a rebuild, review website development and website and SEO pricing.

Reading the evidence

Questions about the result.

What improved for Client C?

Average search position moved up from 22.5 to 13.3, a gain of 9.2 places, between 24–30 August and 20–26 September 2026. Click-through rate rose 0.5 percentage points across the same two weeks.

When did the SEO work start?

Why compare complete weeks?

Single days move around. Two complete seven-day windows give a steadier comparison, and every day in both windows is a settled Search Console record captured on 2 October 2026.

Can another business expect the same SEO results?

Every site starts from its own baseline. Competition, search demand and implementation all shape the result, so a useful SEO plan starts with your own figures and an agreed scope.
