When Google introduced the brand new Google Search Console recommendations, one of many examples of the suggestions was to bulk export your information as a result of “Search Console solely exhibits 35% of your efficiency information.” Now, this isn’t new, we knew Google anonymized means an excessive amount of of your information in Search Console, however now Google is exhibiting how a lot on this instance report.
In July of 2022, we reported on average about 50% of queries in Search Console are hidden. Google didn’t deny it again then, in reality, they up to date their documentation to clarify the information limits and the anonymization of knowledge that they carry out.
In any occasion, this appears to return as information to many since it’s now in plain sight within the new suggestions part (that also most of you don’t see).
John Mueller of Google responded to the newest on the 35% determine saying on LinkedIn (feedback part) “Most websites see all / most of their information.” I suppose the bigger websites see much less?
He wrote, “The quantity actually depends upon the location.” The advice within the screenshot above will solely present when Google thinks the share is excessive sufficient, “We present this suggestion once we assume there’s sufficient distinction,” he wrote.
He additionally added, “Additionally, there’s nuance: even when not all information is proven individually (particular person rows), the graph on prime is ok. Utilizing the API additionally will get you extra information, so utilizing one thing like Search Analytics for Sheets will get most folk far sufficient. Give attention to the actionable stage of knowledge that you just really want – there are alternatives to do extra, however most folk in all probability do not want it.”
Plus, that 35% quantity will be totally different for every website. Just like the examine above stated, it was nearer to 50% of most websites Ahrefs tracks, at the very least again in 2022. “It actually depends upon the location – it is not a hard and fast share,” Mueller wrote.
So this could not come as new, in case you needed all of your information, it is best to have at all times exported it. However that being stated, in case you see this suggestion, then possibly it is best to export your information. Should you do not see the advice, possibly it is best to export your information and examine to see how low the share must be to know when Google might present this notification.
Discussion board dialogue at LinkedIn.
Replace: After I posted this right here, John Mueller commented on Mastodon saying:
Sure, not new. That is what the suggestions are helpful for – letting of us know once they might doubtlessly tweak their processes, particularly if there’s one thing which they could have in any other case missed. Not the whole lot shall be actionable, not everybody needs to do (or has time for) the whole lot they may do. Possibly we should always name it ICYMI 🙂
