Performance at a glance

Raw issue totals are shown exactly from the overall GA4 numbers supplied. Because Nandi's visible reporting window is only 9 calendar days while the earlier issue windows are ~31–32 days, absolute totals should not be interpreted as a perfectly like-for-like ranking.

Reach and attention are not identical.

Fatoumata had the most traffic, while Shudufhadzo produced the longest average engagement time.

Nandi should be reviewed again after a full month.

The current 9-day total is not directly comparable to the previous ~month-long issue windows.

Search is a meaningful ongoing discovery layer.

The site generated roughly 171k impressions and 3.51k clicks across the 12-month Search Console window.

Brand-led terms are prominent among top queries.

Queries such as “the manor”, “manor africa”, “the manor africa” and “manor magazine” feature strongly in the export.

Recommended reporting standard going forward: keep the overall issue totals, but add a consistent 7-day and 30-day checkpoint for every issue. That will make launch velocity, sustained reach and engagement genuinely comparable without relying on uneven date windows.

Method note
“Views/day” is a derived context metric calculated from each visible issue date range, inclusive. Search Console position is interpreted in the usual direction where a lower number represents a higher average ranking.
