The Search Console Performance Report in Depth: Position, CTR, Regex Filters, Branded Queries and Query Groups
In the Performance report, position is the average of the topmost result per query, and because the property and page views aggregate differently, CTR differs between the two tabs. We cover anonymized queries, the 1,000-row and 16-month limits, the Turkish character trap in RE2 regexes, the branded filter, query groups, annotations and C# code that finds low-CTR queries against the site's own CTR.
