Algorithm updates

Know whether an update really hit you

Every Google update is measured against every property you add. Traffic moves for other reasons too, so each change passes three tests before it is attributed to the update.

  1. Unusual for this siteRanked against every comparable period in the property’s own history.
  2. Not the seasonThe same weeks a year earlier are divided out.
  3. Not every site at onceYour other properties act as a control group.
  • Which sections and queries moved, and whether rankings slipped or queries vanished
  • Recovery tracking in the weeks after
  • A research pack per update, ready for the write-up

The reports Search Console leaves out

Console Clarity reads your Search Console rows, finds the opportunities in them and puts a value in clicks on each one, ranked by what is worth doing first.

  • Striking distance: queries sitting just off page one
  • Content decay and keyword cannibalisation
  • AI Overview exposure: rankings that held while clicks fell
  • Search features: Discover, Google News, image and video search reported on their own
  • Your brand as Google’s Knowledge Graph sees it
  • Site checks: Core Web Vitals, certificates, security headers, open ports, threat reputation, WHOIS, Wayback, Open Graph and carbon footprint

Made simple

The jobs Search Console makes hard

Jobs that usually take an afternoon of exports and spreadsheets, each with a page of its own.

Why traffic changed

Pick two periods and see what caused the change: rankings, demand, click-through rate or searches that came and went.

Hidden searches

How much of your traffic comes from searches Google keeps private, and which pages rely on them most.

Index coverage

Check every URL in a sitemap in one go, grouped by the reason Google gives, with what to do about each.

Pages never seen in search

Sitemap pages without a single impression in 90 days, and pages earning impressions that no sitemap lists.

Page groups

Group pages by section, such as /blog/ or /products/, and follow each group’s clicks and trend over time.

Topics

Thousands of searches sorted into topics, with typos and plurals merged and brand searches kept apart.

Export all data

Get past Search Console’s 1,000-row limit and download every row Google will give you as a CSV.

Client reports

A tidy report with your client’s name and your own logo, saved as a PDF in a few clicks.

Web Vitals history

Six months of real Chrome user data for your site and your most valuable pages, which the Search Console API doesn’t provide.

Content gaps

What people type into Google after the searches you already rank for, and which of those your site never appears for.

New pages

How long each new page took to earn its first click, and which ones never have.

AI crawlers

Which AI companies your robots.txt lets in: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini training and more.

Forecast

The clicks and impressions to expect next month if nothing changes, and how this month is tracking against it.

SEO tests

Measure what a change really did: pages before and after, or against pages you left alone, with normal day-to-day noise taken into account.

Google Analytics alongside

Sessions and conversions beside your search clicks, page by page, plus the traffic AI assistants send you.

Email alerts Coming soon

An email when a property’s traffic drops, and a weekly summary of every property you run.

Page check

Whether a page’s title and headings match the searches it shows for, and which of searchers’ questions it answers.

Hour by hour

Clicks and impressions by the hour for the last ten days: when people search for you, and how today is going.

Backlinks from Bing

The pages other sites link to, and who links to them. Google doesn’t share link data; Bing does.

IndexNow

Tell Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo and other engines about new and updated pages straight away.

Coming soon

Extended data

Search Console deletes everything older than about 16 months. Extended data will keep your history for longer, which keeps year-on-year comparisons available and gives older updates a full seasonality check.

Your data

Read-only, and fetched live

Read-only access

Console Clarity asks Google for read-only access to Search Console, which is all it needs to show your reports. It can’t change anything in your account.

Your traffic isn’t stored

Figures come from Google each time. We keep only your sign-in, chosen properties, annotations and settings.

Final data only

Preliminary figures for the last few days are left out, which stops a part-day looking like a drop.
