## **🔍 Overview**

The **GSC Keyword Position History** screen lives under **Site Metrics → GSC Performance** (GSC keyword data page), on the **Keyword Position History** tab. If you have had trouble finding it after a recent navigation update, this article will walk you back to the right place in just a few steps.

## **🗺️ How to Navigate to GSC Keyword Position History**

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
2. In the **left sidebar**, click **Site Metrics**.
3. From the expanded menu, click **GSC Performance**. This takes you to the GSC keyword data page.
4. On the GSC Performance page, click the **Keyword Position History** tab. This is the screen that shows the historical position data pulled directly from your connected Google Search Console account.

## **📈 What You Will See on This Screen**

Once you are on the GSC Keyword Position History screen, you can expect to find:

- **Keyword list:** All keywords Search Atlas has detected from your GSC data.
- **Position history:** A timeline of ranking positions for each keyword, showing how they have moved over time.
- **Filters and sorting:** Options to narrow results by date range, keyword, or position change.
- **Performance trends:** Visual indicators to help you quickly spot keywords that are climbing or dropping.

## **✅ Prerequisites — Make Sure GSC Is Connected**

The position history data is only available if your Google Search Console account is properly linked to Search Atlas. If you see no data or an empty state on this screen, check the following:

- Your GSC property has been connected under Site Metrics → Site Explorer → Manage Sites/Connect GSC Account (GSC connected sites list).
- The correct website property is selected in Rank Tracker.
- Enough time has passed for data to sync — GSC data can take up to **48 hours** to appear after a new connection.

## **💡 Tips for Getting the Most from Position History**

- Use the **date range filter** to compare ranking performance across specific time periods, such as before and after a site update or campaign launch.
- Sort by **position change** to quickly identify your biggest movers — both gains and drops.
- Cross-reference keywords you find here with the **Keyword Magic** tool (Left sidebar → Keywords → Keyword Magic) to find new content opportunities around your top-performing terms.
