How we use Google Analytics + Search Console

Google Analytics and Search Console are how we know what is working: traffic, where it came from, and which searches bring people in.

The actual workflow

  • Every morning a job pulls the last day of traffic and search numbers into one short summary.
  • Search Console shows which pages are getting impressions but no clicks, which is where titles get rewritten.
  • The live report reads the same numbers, lagged and rounded.

What it replaced

Opening five dashboards and forgetting what they said by lunch.

Tips

  • Pull the numbers into one place on a schedule. Nobody reads dashboards consistently.
  • Watch impressions in Search Console. They move weeks before clicks do.

Gotchas

  • Numbers lag by a day or two.
  • The two tools never quite agree with each other, so pick one per question.
