How it is calculated

When an answer recommends brands in a numbered or bulleted list, the judge records your rank in that list, starting at 1. When an answer only mentions you in prose, or does not mention you, there is no position. Avg position averages the rank across answers that mention you in a list. It leaves out prose mentions and answers that do not mention you, so read it next to mention rate.

​
Where to find it
