# Google Search Console

Connect Search Console and get your real clicks, impressions and positions read back as decisions: page-two quick wins, the queries that slipped, and what changed since last week.

## Ask it like this

- What changed in search last week?
- Which keywords dropped?
- Where are my page-two quick wins?

## What you get

### Your numbers, read as decisions

Clicks, impressions, CTR and position turned into a shortlist of what to do — not another dashboard to interpret on your own.

### Page-two quick wins

Queries ranking eleven to twenty, where you already have relevance and a modest push moves you onto page one. Usually the cheapest traffic on the site.

### What changed, and whether it matters

Period-over-period comparison across queries and pages: what rose, what fell, what appeared and what disappeared, separated from seasonal noise.

## How it works

1. **Connect your website** — One workspace per site. It crawls what you have, learns what the business does, and — if you connect Google Search Console — starts from your own measured performance rather than from market averages.
2. **Ask for the job** — Pick the skill or let Auto route it, and describe what you want in a sentence. It buys the data it needs from DataForSEO and Ahrefs instead of estimating it, and reads the live results for the terms in question.
3. **Review, then decide** — The findings land in chat and are saved to the project, so the next question builds on them. Nothing reaches your site unless you approve it — the only thing that can publish is an article, to a CMS you connected.

## Where the data comes from

- Google Search Console — Search Analytics
- Google Search Console — URL Inspection
- Live crawl of the affected pages

## Frequently asked questions

### What access does connecting Search Console give RankBuddy?

Read access to the search performance data and URL inspection for the property you connect. It reads your data; it does not change anything in your Search Console account.

### Do I have to connect it?

No, but it is the single biggest upgrade to the quality of the advice, because it replaces market estimates with your own measured performance. Connecting it also earns extra requests on top of the free grant.

### Can it tell me why a page dropped?

It can narrow it down: whether the query lost impressions or lost position, whether the drop is sitewide or specific to one template, whether the page changed, and whether a competitor moved above you. It will say when the evidence does not support a single cause.

### Can I get this as a weekly report without asking?

Yes. Set an Employee Workflow to run the review on a schedule and it will post the comparison into chat while you are away.
