Source: Distribb's Google Search Console analysis, collected on September 13, 2026, using finalized web-search data through September 10. For each website, we compared the 28 days before it joined with days 63 to 90 after it joined. The 184 websites had complete baseline data and at least one baseline click. Each website received equal weight in the 269.5% average; the 35.1% median is the middle result.
The sample includes 118 websites with more clicks, 61 with fewer and five with no change. We checked all 368 period totals against separate Google Search Console requests. Read our SEO statistics and original research for more findings and their sources.
