Non-product website results refer to traffic from Google to pages on your website that are not product detail pages. These pages can be your website’s home page, shipping and return policies, product category pages, or others.
Tracking the performance of your website’s non-product results allows you to find opportunities to improve your non-product website pages and increase your website’s overall performance.

Metrics for non-product website results
Reporting on the performance of non-product website results allows you to view key metrics on how your website clicks, impressions, click-through rates, and more are trending over time.
Clicks
Total count of clicks on your images or website links that lead to your non-product website pages.
Impressions
Total count of how often your images or website links appeared on Google.
Click-through rate (CTR)
Total count of how often customers who saw your images and website links on Google ended up clicking on them and visiting your non-product website pages, divided by the number of times it’s shown: clicks ÷ impressions = CTR. This illustrates how often clicks on your products led to visits to your online store. For example, if you had 5 clicks and 100 impressions, then your CTR would be 5%.
