Thirteen things your Search Console data can tell you
Each one is a screen in the app, and each one has a page here naming what it does, the window it measures over, and exactly what each figure on it is.
Find what moved
Winners & losers
“What changed since last month?”
The baseline is exactly as many days as the period you picked. Where your archive cannot hold two windows that long, both are narrowed to the longest equal pair that fits, and the screen prints both with their day count.
Learn moreRank movement
“Did my rankings actually go up, or does it just feel like it?”
Both periods are measured day by day over the range you picked, so a band is the impression-weighted average position Google itself reports for those days. Nineteen bands, with their edges printed on screen beside the counts.

“Am I moving up for the things I actually sell?”
The six figures come from Google's complete per-query totals over a fixed 90-day window, and the screen says so under them. The tables below come from the detailed sample, and it says that too.
Learn more24 months of history
“How does this month compare with the same month last year?”
Google serves a rolling 16 months, then deletes the oldest day. We copy what it still holds the day you connect, then keep a rolling 24 months on a paid project, about eight months past Google.

Pivot analytics
“I need these numbers cut a completely different way.”
It runs over the history stored for your site, and prints above the table how much of your traffic those rows account for.
Learn moreGroups
“Traffic is down 15%. Which part of my site?”
Three groupings are built for you on the first sync: brand against the rest, query intent, and the cut your own URLs already make. The rules read like sentences, and the counts move as you type.

“What are people actually typing?”
Sorted on the server across every row stored, not the first thousand of an export. Each brand and intent label shows the rule that assigned it.

“Search Console only lets me download 1,000 rows. How do I get the rest?”
Built on the server and streamed, so the CSV holds every row the table matched. Its first lines name the window and the filters, and on the queries report the share of your clicks those rows account for.

Page coverage
“Which of my pages has Google stopped showing?”
You set what counts as stopped, and the screen prints that rule with the number of silent days in it. Every URL is listed, not the top few hundred.
Learn moreCannibalization
“Two of my pages show up for the same search. Which one do I keep?”
Four tests before a search counts as a conflict. A bar above the table names the days the detailed data really covers, which can be narrower than the range you picked.
Learn moreDrop alerts
“When did it start, and how big is it?”
Four checks run at the end of every sync: clicks, average position, keywords in the top ten, and pages earning impressions. Each has a volume floor under it, so a quiet week cannot set one off.

All your sites
“I look after eleven sites. Which one needs me today?”
Every connected property on one row, with four totals computed across every project on the account rather than across the rows on screen. Each site is measured against its own freshest day.
Learn moreTeam access
“How do I show my client their numbers without giving them my Google login?”
Invite a client or a colleague by address, pick view, edit or owner, and the server re-checks that role on every write. Seats are unlimited and free.
Learn moreEach of the thirteen pages spells out what its screen measures, how to read each figure on it, and where the measurement stops. Three facts hold across all thirteen: Search Console publishes two to three days late, Google anonymizes its rarest searches out of every query list, and what a click earned you is a number your own order or analytics data holds.
