What is the "Best ranking" and what conclusion can be drawn regarding my podcast's visibility in the search results?

🧭 From the Visibility > Overview tab within the PSO Control Panel, you can find the "Best ranking" data.

The "Best ranking" corresponds to the keyword, from your selection, for which your podcast is best ranked in the search results. In other words, it's the keyword for which your podcast ranks highest on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify! πŸ†

πŸ“† The Best position takes into account all keyword search results for Apple Podcasts and Spotify over the last 7 days.
