The work this takes off your week
By hand, every report starts with an export.
- Someone downloads search data and pastes it into a spreadsheet.
- Searches get matched to pages by eye, one row at a time.
- A page that drops in Google goes unnoticed until next month's report.
With the system, the report is current when you open it.
- Your search data comes in on a schedule, with nobody downloading a file.
- Every search is matched to the page it finds, and related searches are grouped.
- Positions are recorded at every pull, each scheduled data fetch, and a drop shows within the week.
What it would cost you to keep doing it by hand
Example
Three places the hours go when search reports are built by hand.
| # | Situation | What it takes by hand | Hours a month | Cost a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A monthly ranking report built from exports | Search data downloaded, pasted into a spreadsheet and matched to pages by hand | 12 hours | $1,800 |
| 2 | A page drops in Google and nobody sees it for a month | Positions checked page by page to find which searches fell | 6 hours | $900 |
| 3 | Next month's pages planned from a guess | Searches sorted by page to see which bring clicks and which pages need work | 8 hours | $1,200 |
Together: 26 hours and $3,900, every month.
Example with illustrative figures, priced at $150 an hour.

Questions about Search Console reporting automation
Is Search Console reporting automation worth it for us?
Yes if someone exports search data every month, or nobody looks at it at all. One call tells you whether the build pays for itself.
What do you need from us?
A 30 minute call and access to Search Console for your site. Bring the questions your report should answer.
What if our search data is thin?
The report shows what Google records for your site, even when that is little. As your traffic grows, the trends fill in.
Can we change the report ourselves afterwards?
Yes. Your team can filter, sort and share it like any report, and new groups of searches can be added as your site grows.
What happens if something breaks?
A failed pull is flagged. The next run picks up the missed days, so no week goes missing from the report.
