FAQ

Google Search Console reporting FAQs

How do I share Google Search Console data with a client?

Create a report that pulls the data for you and share it as a link or PDF. In ReportFalcon, the client adds your reporting email to Search Console once, and every report after that uses live data.

What access does ReportFalcon need in Search Console?

Restricted user access to the property. Restricted users can view performance data but can't change settings or add users, and the client can remove access at any time.

How far back can a Search Console report go?

Google keeps 16 months of Search Console performance data, so reports can compare any period in that window, including year over year.

Why don't Search Console clicks match GA4 sessions?

They measure different things. Search Console counts clicks from Google search results, while GA4 counts sessions on the site from every channel and depends on cookie consent. A gap is normal.

Why did average position get worse when clicks went up?

Average position is weighted by impressions. When a site starts ranking for many new keywords lower down, the average falls even though visibility grew. Our Search Console metrics guide explains it.

Can I export a Search Console report as a PDF?

Yes. Every report downloads as a branded A4 PDF, or you can share a link that freezes the numbers and shows how often the client opened it.
