5- Clicks and Visits
Clicks means how many times the user is clicking on the site displayed in the SERP.
Visits is equivalent to sessions. A session is of 30 minutes. Within the time frame of 30 minutes the same user clicking on the site listing several times would be counted as 1 visit.
As for example, any user visits the site 5 different times using 5 different keywords but within the time frame of 30 minutes then clicks would be counted as 5 and visits would be counted as 1 as only 1 session would be created.
