Purpose of the Tool

- Provides users with the ability to view and export extracted data as a csv file for further analysis.
- Is a useful tool for users who need to extract and analyze large amounts of data from Google Search Console.
Prerequisites

Why these insights are helpful
- Google Search Console data will help you find what keywords you are ranking for and on what pages.
- Provides the insights need to focus on key opportunities. e.g. keywords in which you are ranking in positions 2 to 10 where an increase in rankings will result in a relatively high increase in traffic.
- Google Search Console provides an ‘average ranking’ which is more indicative of your performance for a whole country (e.g. Australia) compared to rank trackers. Rank trackers will record your ranking at one particular location (e.g. Sydney CBD) however, these results may be different in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide etc. An average ranking gives you a better idea of how competitive you are and the share of search you are getting.
- Impression metrics provide a more accurate indication of search volume compared to many of the estimates provided by rank tracking tool.
Considerations
- Google Search Console data does not show all searches for Google. Some studies have estimated that as much as 15-20% of searches are filtered from Google Search Console data due to various factors such as user privacy settings, ad blockers, and data filtering mechanisms
- Google Search Console data does not show searches from other search engines
