We’ve enhanced the
Visibility and Estimated Traffic metrics
by making them available directly within your keyword ranking table. These metrics already provide powerful insights on the Overview Page and at the top of the ranking table, and now you can seamlessly integrate them into your detailed keyword data.
This update provides greater flexibility and convenience, enabling you to view and compare these key metrics directly within your reports, saving time and improving workflow efficiency.
You can choose to include these metrics in your
Ranking Table, PDF Reports, or ViewKey links
. Customize your display by navigating to
Settings > Table.

Value: This improvement provides users with a powerful tool to directly analyze how their SEO performance stacks up against competitors over time. By visualizing side-by-side rankings, users can better understand competitive positioning, identify growth opportunities, and make more informed strategy decisions.
We’ve added new functionality to our AI Overview detection:
  • Source Identification
    : Now, if your domain is used as a source in the AI Overview, a green AI icon will appear, indicating your domain’s reference in the AI-generated response.
  • Source URL Display
    : Hover over the green AI icon to see the exact source URL where your domain was referenced.

We’ve enhanced our real-time ViewKey reports to provide even faster updates. Now, when you add or edit a keyword in the app, the report will automatically refresh within the ViewKey link. Your viewers will immediately see a rotating icon, signaling that the keyword is being updated in real time. No need to manually refresh the page—changes are reflected instantly, ensuring your reports are always up to date with the latest data.
The live ViewKey reports now display in widescreen for a better viewing experience. This update allows you to see more data at a glance, reducing the need for scrolling and making it easier to analyze your keyword performance.
You can view a sample report here.
You can now view historical SERP results directly from the ViewKey Ranking Table. A new icon in the Keyword Row Action list allows you to open the SERP history page with a single click.

When exporting a CSV file from either the Ranking Table > Export button or the Scheduled Report Builder, two new columns have been added:
• Project Name
• Group Name
These columns will now be included in your exported CSV files for more detailed reporting and data organization.
We’ve added a new indicator in the SERP Feature column to show when an AI Overview result is present. You’ll see a robot icon whenever an AI Overview is detected in the search results. This feature is currently in beta, so we’re monitoring its performance and making adjustments as needed.

Note: As Google rolls out these results, we’ve noticed that the appearance of the AI Overview feature is not yet consistent. Additionally, Google requires users to be logged in to view these results, as they deliver a personalized experience. Because of this, the actual text of the AI Overview and the sources shown may vary from user to user in Spyglass. Due to these variations, we are not currently tracking the URL associated with the AI Overview. We are continuing to monitor this behavior and will make adjustments as necessary.
We’re excited to introduce the new Project Overview Dashboard, a powerful tool designed to give you a comprehensive snapshot of your project’s performance.
