Country mix changes the search headline

A rise in overseas impressions masks a decline among the practice's intended local audience.

What to change

The intended service area should guide interpretation of geographic changes. Ask the analyst to separate that audience from newly appearing countries, using the same page and query filters where possible. Review whether the extra exposure comes from broadly useful informational content or an operational mismatch. The report should describe observed geography cautiously and avoid treating a reporting location as proof that a particular visitor can or cannot use the service.

A worked example

Illustrative example

Illustrative test: Contrast the target market with newly appearing countries for the same pages.

How to check the result

The report identifies whether growth reaches people the organisation can actually serve.

A mistake to avoid

Location data is a reporting dimension, not proof of a person's eligibility.
