How accurate is Average Ranking in AccuRanker?

Average ranking only takes into consideration the keywords we have rankings for. That is, keywords that are ranked in the top 100.

An example of why a positive change can impact average ranking negatively:

We have two keywords:

Keyword 1 is ranked no. 1

Keyword 2 is ranked “outside top 500”

The average ranking would be 1, since we don’t have a rank for keyword 2.

Now, if keyword 2 is ranked 100, with keyword 1 staying at rank 1, our average ranking goes from 1 to 50.
