Set it up once

This runs on your own free Google account. We never hold your token and never see your data.

  1. 1
    Open the Traffic Lab

    Everything starts on one page with a wizard that walks you through it in order.

    Open the Traffic Lab
  2. 2
    Verify your site with Google

    Search Console is free. You need a property you have verified, which the wizard talks you through.

  3. 3
    Connect your property

    Add the service account as a user on your property and paste the key. The connected screen proves data is landing before you go further.

What you do each month

  1. 1
    Read the opportunities

    Pages sitting just off page one, and pages Google never indexed. Each one carries its evidence and one plain job.

    See opportunities
  2. 2
    Plan a cluster

    Pick a subject people really search for, and the planner lays out the pages that answer it properly.

    Open the cluster planner
  3. 3
    Do the three named jobs

    The monthly report freezes what happened and names three jobs. Paste the prompts into your builder like any other step.

What to expect, honestly

  1. 1
    Months, not days

    Early weeks look flat because Google is still reading your pages. Growth comes as pages age.

  2. 2
    Not every page gets indexed

    That is normal, even on big sites. The Lab tells you which ones Google skipped rather than pretending.

  3. 3
    No made-up numbers

    A week with no reported data says so instead of printing a zero and calling it a measurement.

    Anything promising rankings in 30 days is selling you a story. This does not.
