    Take into account that Google Search Console (GSC) only shows page 2 rankings if people open that page. Since Search behaviour is different on Desktop vs Mobile, you might see a completely different average position on mobile vs desktop in GSC even though you are actually ranking on the same position.

    If you filter for specific keywords, is there still a huge ranking difference? Ideally, filter for keywords where you are ranking on page 1 consistently.
