What Growth to Expect: Portfolio Figures

Straight answers 2 min read Updated 12.09.2026
Aggregates across all projects, including unsuccessful ones: 58% of promoted pages improved their position by an average of 16 points, 79% of projects are in the growth phase. And four caveats without which these numbers cannot be read.

Instead of cases with other people's screenshots—aggregates across the entire portfolio of projects, including those where nothing has grown. The figures are automatically recalculated from the platform's data; below is a snapshot as of September 12, 2026.

What the Data Shows

How to Read This Honestly

  • This is observation, not proof of causality. We record that the position improved after the launch. Proving that our links specifically raised it cannot be done separately—content, competitors, and algorithms change simultaneously.
  • The denominator is not “all clients”. Positions are counted only for projects with connected Search Console: without it, the platform has no data on positions at all.
  • “Improved position” does not mean “made it to the top 3”. An average of +16 points often means moving from 40th place to 24th: there is movement, but traffic is not yet there.
  • 42% of pages did not grow. This is the flip side of the same table, and we do not hide it.

What Most Influences Your Result

  1. Starting position. Pages in the 4–20 positions move noticeably more readily than pages from the third hundred—see “At the Top Threshold”.
  2. Competitiveness of the query. In niches where leaders have thousands of referring domains, the volume of the cascade does not matter.
  3. State of the website. Technical accessibility and content of the page are prerequisites without which links will not start to work.
  4. Time. A link starts to take effect after indexing: see when to expect results.
How to Check This for Yourself
Take one page, launch a cascade, and compare its dynamics with neighboring pages of the same type that had no launches. This is not a laboratory experiment, but it is more honest than any case study—and the data will be yours, not ours.

Where to See Your Numbers

For a specific page, the dynamics can be seen in “Pulse”: position, impressions, clicks, and the number of indexed publications. In the launch report, there is a block “Search Result”—what it was at the start and what it became after 30, 60, 90 days. The methodology for calculating portfolio aggregates is described in the article “Where the Numbers in This Knowledge Base Come From”.

FAQ

How many pages really grow?
As of September 12, 2026, 58% of promoted pages with Search Console data improved their position, on average by 16 points. The remaining 42% did not grow.
Does this prove that your links caused the growth?
No. We record growth after launch, but content, competitors, and algorithms change simultaneously. Causality cannot be proven with such data.
Why is the sample only from Search Console?
Without a connected Search Console, the platform has no data on positions. Therefore, the denominator is projects that have connected it, not all clients.
