Brand Ownership

See how much vertical space, measured in pixels, your brand occupies on the SERP for each keyword.

With the Brand Ownership metric, you can track your brand's visibility across search engine results for a particular keyword. This means you can get a clear percentage of how much vertical space—measured in pixels—your brand occupies on the search engine results page when that keyword is searched.

How Brand Ownership is calculated

The Brand Ownership metric is determined by comparing the total pixel height of your brand’s ranking URLs for each keyword and search engine combination against the total pixel height of the SERP (top to bottom). The result is then multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.

The metric ranges from 0% to 100%. A score near 0% indicates that your brand is barely visible in the search results, while a score near 100% means that your brand dominates the page.

The metric is available for both branded and non-branded keywords. In AWR, branded keywords are marked with a specific icon in the KPI dashboard, making it easier to differentiate them from non-branded terms.

The Brand Ownership metric is computed per keyword, considering the search depth defined at the project level and the selected search preferences, such as device type and search category (organic, universal, etc.) for each tracked search engine.

How the Brand Ownership metric helps you

Beyond showing what percent of physical space your brand takes up on the SERPs, the Brand Ownership metric also helps you to:

  • Assess brand visibility and see the keywords for which your brand dominates the SERPs.

  • Find new growth opportunities by identifying keywords where your brand has low SERP coverage.

  • Ensure you have strong visibility for branded keywords while finding non-branded ones that you may focus on optimizing next.
