## **🔍 Overview**

When reviewing a site's traffic breakdown in Site Explorer, Search Atlas displays a summary of the top countries by default. The remaining countries are grouped under an **Others** category. This article explains how to expand that data and view the complete country-by-country distribution for any site.

## **🗺️ Where to Find Country Distribution Data**

Country distribution data is located inside the Site Explorer report for any domain you are analysing. Follow these steps to get there:

1. In the left sidebar, click **Site Metrics (Site Explorer)**.
2. You will land on the Site Explorer list at **/site-explorer/list**.
3. Click on the domain you want to analyse, or enter a new domain in the search bar.
4. Scroll down to the **Country Distribution** section on the site's overview page.

## **📊 Understanding the Default Country View**

By default, the Country Distribution section shows only the top-performing countries for the selected site. Any countries that fall outside this top group are combined into a single **Others** row. This keeps the report clean and scannable, but it means you may not immediately see the full geographic breakdown.

## **✅ How to See All Countries Including Others**

To expand the country distribution and view every individual country, including those grouped under Others, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Country Distribution** section within the site's Site Explorer report.
2. Look for the **View All** button or the **Others** row at the bottom of the country table.
3. Click **View All** (or click directly on the **Others** row) to expand the full list.
4. The table will now display every country contributing traffic to the site, along with its individual share of visits, keywords, and other available metrics.

You can scroll through the expanded table or use the built-in sort and filter controls to organise the data by traffic share, keyword count, or any other available column.

## **💡 Tips for Working with Country Data**

- **Sort by traffic share** to quickly identify which smaller markets are growing in importance.
- **Export the data** using the export button in the report header if you need to analyse country breakdowns in a spreadsheet.
- **Compare domains** by opening multiple sites in Site Explorer and comparing their expanded country tables side by side.
- Keep in mind that countries listed under **Others** individually may have small traffic volumes, but together they can represent a meaningful share of a site's overall reach.

## **❓ Frequently Asked Questions**

**Why are some countries grouped under Others?** Search Atlas groups lower-traffic countries into the Others category by default to keep reports easy to read. Clicking **View All** reveals the full breakdown without any data being hidden or excluded.

**Is the data in the expanded view complete?** Yes. The expanded view shows every country for which Search Atlas has data for that domain. No country data is removed — it is simply collapsed for display purposes until you choose to expand it.

**Can I filter the expanded table to a specific region?** You can sort and filter the expanded country table using the available column controls. Regional grouping filters may vary depending on your plan and the current version of the platform.
