Target URL Suggestion

Currently, the position column is based on the target URL and not the highest ranking URL. Only when you interact with the target URL column can you see the URL that is ranking the highest. It would be easier to understand a website's actual positioning if this was switched: the position is based on the highest ranking URL and the target URL column can be interacted with to see where the target URL stands. It gets confusing when the position says 30 for the target URL, but a different URL is ranking at 4.

The purpose of the target URL is to monitor its position and easily see when it’s outranked. If you’d like to monitor the highest position instead, you can simply remove the target URL. You can still see all positions (including your target URL’s position) by hovering over the “N more” button next to the URL.
Hope this helps! If anything is still unclear, let me know.

Fedor Fokin The issue is when presenting to clients if you have multiple target URL's being outranked, the overall ranking success can look much worse than it is. We want to be able to note which page we are trying to rank while still having the option of seeing the overall best page ranking for each keyword. Having a setting to ensure the position value reflects the highest ranking page would be useful.

TJ Elder: Thanks for the clarification! Knowing this context is very helpful. I’ve noted the idea.
