Google Search Console

Google first-party search data

FreeSEO, growth & newslettersearch.google.com

What it is

Search Console reports how a site performs in Google: queries, impressions, clicks and average position, plus index coverage, sitemap submission, Core Web Vitals and manual action notices. Data spans 16 months and can be exported by API or streamed into BigQuery.

Why it earns a slot

The only source of real query data — every other tool estimates. It shows which articles Google already ranks and which queries you nearly rank for, which is where the cheapest traffic lives.

Know before you commit

The Performance UI caps at 1,000 rows per query and samples heavily; use the API or BigQuery export for full data. Its numbers will never match your analytics tool.

Getting started

Verify via DNS TXT record or your host's one-click integration.
