The four numbers
What Google tells you
Each figure comes straight from Google Search Console and shows its change against the period before.
- Clicks
How many times someone clicked through to your site from Google.
The number that matters most. Watch it after every release.
- Impressions
How many times one of your pages was shown in Google's results.
Rising impressions with flat clicks means people see you but do not pick you.
- Click-through rate
The share of impressions that became a click.
A low rate often means a weak title or description. Fix it in the Content view.
- Average position
Where your pages sat in the results on average. Lower is better.
A falling number is good news: you are moving up.
What it shows you
From the trend down to one query
Trends with your scans marked
Daily clicks and impressions, with each scan or deploy drawn on the chart, so a drop after a release is easy to spot.
Queries
The words people typed into Google before they found you, with clicks, impressions, CTR and position for each.
Pages
Which pages get the most search traffic. Open a row to see the queries behind it, by device and by country.
Impact
Each fix or regression your scans recorded, with how its pages did against the rest of your site over the 28 days after it.
Search types and ranges
Switch between Web, Image, Video, News, Discover and Google News, and look back 7 days, 28 days, 90 days, 6 months or 16 months, as your plan allows.
Exports
Download daily totals, pages or queries as CSV, to share or to dig into in a spreadsheet.

FAQ
Common questions about this feature
Does search traffic change my health score?
No. Search Console data never changes your score, your issues or their order. It sits beside them so you can see whether your fixes helped.
Does the Impact tab prove a fix caused more traffic?
No. It compares how the pages you changed did against the rest of your site. That is a strong hint, not proof.
Why are some queries missing?
Google hides rare searches to protect people's privacy, so the queries table never adds up to your total clicks.
Can PixyScan change anything in my Search Console?
No. The connection is read-only. PixyScan only reads your performance data.
