## **Overview**

The **Domain Metrics** tab inside the Report Section displays keyword ranking data for your tracked domains. If you see keywords showing as zero or missing entirely, this is almost always related to the data source or the selected date range — not a platform error. This article explains what to check when keyword data appears empty or incomplete.

## **Where Do Domain Metrics Keywords Come From?**

Keywords displayed in the Domain Metrics tab originate from activity you have already performed within the platform. If no keyword data has been generated or retrieved for a domain, the Domain Metrics tab will have nothing to display.

If keywords are missing, the first step is to ensure you have analysed the relevant domain within the platform before returning to the Domain Metrics tab.

## **Are Keywords Auto-Populated or Manually Added?**

Keywords in Domain Metrics are **not automatically populated**. They reflect data that has been retrieved through prior domain analysis activity within the platform. Here is how the process works:

1. You enter a domain into the platform to analyse it.
2. The platform retrieves keyword ranking data for that domain based on your selected filters and date range.
3. That data then becomes available inside the **Domain Metrics** tab in the Report Section.

If you have not yet run a domain analysis, do so first and allow the platform to retrieve the data before returning to the Report Section.

## **How to Expand the Date Range to Reveal Keyword Position Data**

One of the most common reasons keyword rankings appear as zero or missing is that the selected date range is too narrow to capture any recorded position data. Expanding the date range is the primary fix for this issue.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the **Report Section** and navigate to **Site Metrics → Pages/Subdomains/etc.**
2. Locate the date range option (e.g. the 'September 2026' dropdown) within the tab.
3. Expand the range to cover a broader period — for example, the **last 3 to 6 months** rather than the last 7 or 14 days.
4. Apply the new date range and allow the data to reload.
5. Keyword ranking positions should now populate if data exists for the domain within that timeframe.

**Why does this happen?** If the selected date window does not cover the period for which data is available, or if the domain was only recently added, rankings may not appear. Broadening the date range is the recommended first step before escalating.
