A Page Analysis Sheet is the workbook view that lays out selected page-level measurements side by side across the pages in a run, so you can inspect and compare them in one place.

What it means in RankGear
When RankGear finishes analyzing a keyword, it assembles the pages it looked at into a workbook, and the Page Analysis Sheet is the tab where the per-page numbers live. Each row is a page from the result set; the columns are the measurements RankGear chose to surface for that run. Rather than reading one URL at a time, you get the whole competitive field arranged as a grid, which is what makes it a comparison surface rather than a single-page report.
How to interpret it
Start at the top. The opening summary and legend tell you what each column represents and how the values were derived, and reading them first keeps you from misreading a raw count as a score. From there, follow the sheet’s links into the supporting sheets or report sections when you need the detail behind a number. Treat the columns as comparative indicators across this specific set of pages, not as absolute grades, and keep the run’s metadata attached when you hand the workbook to someone else so they can see the settings the numbers came from.
Example
You run an analysis for a commercial keyword and open the workbook. The Page Analysis Sheet shows the ranking pages as rows, with columns for things like word count and heading structure. Exporting that completed analysis produces the workbook plus the selected HTML companion files in one step, and none of the export options change the underlying measurements the sheet is reporting.
Important considerations
- A sheet is a snapshot of one run at one moment; a later run with different settings or a shifted SERP will produce different rows and values.
- Compare like for like. Values are only meaningful against pages measured under the same settings in the same run.
- The measurements are comparative signals drawn from the pages in the set, not Google’s ranking scores; a higher or lower number does not mean a page ranks because of it.
- Formatting is presentation, not evidence. A tidy layout or a highlighted cell does not add weight to a measurement.
