Measurement and data
Impression
Also known as: appearance in search
Understanding the term
Impressions measure visibility; clicks measure appeal. Many impressions without clicks mean you appear but your title is not compelling, or you are too far down the page.
For a new website, a few dozen impressions for queries unrelated to the business are normal: the search engine is testing the domain before understanding its subject.
