Google Search Console Analytics

Connect Google Search Console to tinyanalytics to see how people find you in Google Search — your top queries, pages, countries, and devices, each with clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position — and, for pages, countries, and devices, joined to the traffic you already track. One row shows what a page ranks for and how the visitors it earns behave. It answers the question your pageview data can’t: what did people search to get here?

​

How do I connect Google Search Console?

You connect Search Console from its report page in three steps. You’ll need a Google account that already has verified Search Console properties. tinyanalytics only ever reads your Search Console data. You can disconnect at any time from the same page.

What search metrics does tinyanalytics show?

The report opens with a totals strip — clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position for the whole window — then a trend chart, then a table you can switch across four dimensions, one tab each. Every row carries the same four Google metrics: CTR is shown as a percentage and average position to one decimal place. Click a column header to sort, and use the search box to filter rows by name — searching never rescales the share-of-clicks bars, which are always computed over every fetched row. The totals are exact: clicks and impressions are summed, while CTR and average position are impression-weighted, so a 10-impression day can’t swing the window average the way a 10,000-impression day does.

​

How do I see my traffic next to my search rankings?

On the Pages, Countries, and Devices tabs, each row adds your first-party tinyanalytics metrics next to Google’s — so a single row reads “ranks #4, gets 1,200 impressions, and converts to 340 sessions at 41% bounce.”

• Pages join on the page path and show your sessions and pageviews, plus bounce rate and engaged sessions for pages that start a visit.
• Countries and Devices join on the same dimension and show your sessions and pageviews.
• A row with no matching tinyanalytics traffic shows a —, never a fabricated 0 — a page Google sent impressions to but that you have no tracked traffic for is genuinely unknown, not zero.

Click any Pages, Countries, or Devices row to drill straight into the matching tinyanalytics report, pre-filtered to that page, country, or device over the same Search Console window.

​

Is my search traffic growing?

Two things answer this on the page:

• The trend chart plots clicks and impressions per day across the window. Clicks read on the left axis with a shaded area; impressions read on their own right axis as a lighter line, because impressions typically dwarf clicks and a shared axis would flatten the clicks line. Hover for a per-day tooltip.
• Period comparison. The totals strip shows each metric’s change against the previous equal-length window — the same number of days immediately before your current one. A metric with no comparable prior data hides its change chip rather than showing a misleading swing.

​

Can I export my Search Console data?

Yes. The table exports to CSV — the rows currently displayed, with their visible columns, including the joined tinyanalytics metrics on the Pages, Countries, and Devices tabs. Use it to pull rankings and traffic into a spreadsheet or a report.

​

Why is Search Console on its own date range?

Search Console data is daily and lags about two to three days behind, so the report uses its own trailing window — last 7 days, last 28 days, or last 3 months (28 days is the default) — rather than the minute-level range the rest of the dashboard shares. A “last 30 minutes” view would be meaningless for search data that hasn’t arrived yet. Google fixes Search Console’s daily aggregation to the America/Los_Angeles (Pacific) time zone, and the report matches it: the window ends at the latest complete Pacific day (about two days ago) and spans exactly the number of days you pick. That alignment makes the totals match Google’s own Performance report row-for-row. It also means the numbers can differ slightly from the rest of your dashboard when your reporting timezone isn’t Pacific — the two answer different questions (“what does Google report” versus “my traffic in my timezone”).

​

What is the Search Console card on my dashboard?

Once a site is connected, your main dashboard shows a Search Console card with your top five queries over the last 28 days — a quick glance at what’s driving search traffic without leaving the overview. The card appears only when Search Console is connected, so an unconnected dashboard stays uncluttered.
