Within the report, each website is displayed through a different color in the same order as they are displayed in the Google Rankings, only local results (websites that rank on Google first Page in only one location ) will be marked with the color gray.

Below the colorful HeatMap, an index displays the websites that rank well in most of the analyzed locations. Their URL address isn't featured in the index, but it is visible on mouse over or in the Advertisers/1st Page Reports.
