How we build the thing that publishes your changelog, your blog and your release notes.
Search Console has no language dimension. On a site in more than one language you separate the data by page or by country, which means the URL structure you chose for translations decides what you can measure.
Bing's index answers differently from Google's, and it is the one Copilot cites. Pulling its query data into your own panel is straightforward; reading it correctly means knowing two things about how Bing reports.
A report that arrives every Monday whether or not anything happened teaches its reader to ignore it. Three constraints fix that: alert only above a severity floor, only on kinds worth interrupting somebody for, and only when the finding is new.
Search Console's regex filters are RE2 expressions, which is a deliberately smaller syntax than the one most regex tutorials teach. What RE2 leaves out, what to write in place of each missing construct, and the two things a filter does not change.
First click, linear, time decay and position-based were withdrawn in November 2023. What remains in the GA4 attribution reports is data-driven, paid and organic last click, and Google paid channels last click — and one of the three is still the one arguments end on.
Search Console will group performance rows by seven dimensions, and searchAppearance is the one that says which result feature an impression came from. It also changes how the totals are aggregated, which is the part that surprises people.
The Data API answers questions you can express in its dimensions. The BigQuery export hands over the events themselves, with the costs and caveats that come with owning them.
A cross-network social report fails on two things: metrics that do not mean the same thing, and metrics that were never reported being stored as zero.
Impressions fell is a chart. Twelve queries sitting at position eight to twenty with below-average click-through, so rewriting their titles is the obvious change this week, is an insight. The difference is a required field.
Realtime covers the last 30 minutes and never settles. Standard reports cover a date range in the property's time zone and keep changing until processing finishes. Neither is the corrected version of the other.
Market4 turns one release note into a changelog page, a blog post, a mail-out and a week of social posts — and then tells you which of them brought anyone back.
