This article was originally published in February 2024 and has been substantially rewritten to reflect SEO Gets' pricing changes, new GA4 integration, and major feature additions.
Google Search Console is the default tool for anyone who owns a website. It's also clunky: limited to 1,000 data rows, no multi-site overview, and spotting trends across months of data requires regex gymnastics or exporting to a spreadsheet. If you're managing more than one site, it gets worse: you're tab-hopping between properties with no way to compare them side by side.
The SEO Gets tool solves those problems. It connects to your Google Search Console (read-only) and now GA4 data, pulling in 50,000 data rows instead of GSC's 1,000. It gives you a multi-site dashboard, content decay detection, keyword tracking, and a bunch of reports that would take hours to build manually. I've been using it on bitdoze.com and several other projects since early 2024, and it's the first thing I open on Monday morning to check what's happening with my sites.
This review covers what SEO Gets does in 2026 (a lot has changed), its pricing tiers, key features, limitations, and whether it's worth your time. If you're still [choosing a good domain name](/choose-domain-name/) and building your first site, or you've been running content for years, the free tier alone is worth a look. And if you're building on a modern stack, you might also want to [build a free blog with Astro](/build-astro-blog-free/) to pair with these analytics.
## What is SEO Gets? A Google Search Console alternative
SEO Gets is a web app that acts as an overlay on top of your Google Search Console data. It pulls in your existing GSC metrics (clicks, impressions, CTR, average position) and presents them in a dashboard that's actually usable. Since January 2026, it also integrates with Google Analytics 4 on paid plans, making it a unified GSC + GA4 analytics tool.
The core value prop is simple: **50,000 data rows** instead of GSC's 1,000. That alone changes what you can analyze. Instead of seeing the top 25 queries per page, you see everything. Filtering works without regex. Multi-site overview shows all your properties on a single page with clicks and impressions.
SEO Gets was founded by Guilherme Oenning (technical co-founder) and Matthew Mellinger (business co-founder). It's a SaaS product, no self-hosting, no open source dashboard. You authenticate with your Google account, grant read-only access, and the data loads.
**SEO Gets does NOT fully replace Google Search Console.** You still need GSC for:
Sitemap submission and monitoring
URL Inspection tool (live test & indexed status)
Manual indexing requests
Core Web Vitals reports
Security issues and manual actions
Think of SEO Gets as the analytics layer you use daily, while GSC stays as the admin panel you visit when you need to fix something.
## SEO Gets pricing: free, Core, and Pro plans (2026)
SEO Gets launched as a free tool in 2024. It now has three tiers. The free tier is genuinely generous: no click limits (that restriction was removed in April 2025), unlimited sites, and unlimited users.
- Unlimited sites
- Unlimited users
- Master dashboard (all sites at a glance)
- 50,000 data rows
- Growth / Decaying tabs
- Query counting
- Branded vs non-branded filtering
- Google Core Update annotations
- CSV and PNG export
- 16 months of historical data
- No click limits
Everything in Free, plus:
- GA4 unified analytics
- Content groups
- Topic clusters
- Annotations
- SEO testing framework
- Client portals / Magic Links
- Striking distance report
- Cannibalization report
- Content decay heatmaps
- Saved filters
- 100 AI credits/month
Everything in Core, plus:
- 1 Super Site included (index reporting for up to 5,000 pages, 5 years of history, 50K+ rows, email alerts)
- MCP server access for Claude Desktop
- Additional Super Sites: $10/month each
Paid plans come with a **14-day free trial**, no credit card required.
### Free plan: what you get for $0
For most solo operators managing 1-3 sites, the Free plan is all you need. The paid tiers only make sense when you need GA4 integration, content groups, or client reporting.
The free tier gives you 50,000 data rows (that's 50x what raw GSC shows you). You get the multi-site master dashboard, growth/decay filtering, branded vs non-branded query separation, and Core Update annotations so you can see if a traffic drop correlates with a Google algorithm update. For a solo operator running a blog or small portfolio, this is more than enough.
What you miss: no GA4 integration, no content groups, no advanced reports (striking distance, cannibalization, content decay heatmaps), no SEO testing, and no MCP access.
### Core plan ($39/month): GA4 and advanced features
The headline feature here is **GA4 integration**. You get a unified dashboard showing GSC data (clicks, impressions, CTR, position) alongside GA4 data (sessions, key events, engagement rate, revenue). There's a dedicated GA4 dashboard with landing pages table and source/medium breakdown. GA4 data is included in CSV exports.
Beyond GA4, Core unlocks content groups, topic clusters, the SEO testing framework, content decay heatmaps, striking distance reports, and cannibalization detection. You also get 100 AI credits per month for AI-powered features like anomaly detection and content suggestions.
This tier makes sense if you're running multiple sites, doing client work, or you want GA4 and GSC data in a single view without building a Looker Studio dashboard from scratch.
### Pro plan ($49/month): Super Sites, index reporting, and MCP
The Pro plan adds **Super Sites**: index monitoring for up to 5,000 pages per site. You get indexing history, percentage indexed, filterable status views, and email alerts when indexing changes. Historical data extends to 5 years (vs 16 months on Free/Core).
You also get MCP server access, which lets you query your GSC and GA4 data directly inside Claude Desktop. If you're already using [MCP servers for AI-powered workflows](/brightdata-mcp-guide/), this is a natural extension.
Extra Super Sites cost $10/month each. This tier targets agencies, large sites that need index monitoring, and anyone doing AI-assisted SEO analysis.
## Key SEO Gets features for 2026
### GSC and GA4 unified analytics dashboard
This is what separates SEO Gets from raw Google Search Console. Since January 2026, you can see GSC metrics (clicks, impressions, CTR, position) and GA4 metrics (sessions, key events, engagement rate, revenue) in a single view.
The GA4 dashboard includes:
- **Landing pages table**: which pages drive sessions and conversions
- **Source/medium table**: where your traffic comes from
- **Key events and revenue trends**: track conversions alongside search performance
- **GA4 data in CSV exports**: no more merging spreadsheets manually
This is the feature that moved SEO Gets from "nice GSC alternative" to "daily driver analytics tool." If you're currently toggling between GSC and GA4 tabs, unifying them saves real time. For a lighter-weight analytics option that doesn't require Google at all, check out [Plausible as a lightweight Google Analytics alternative](/plausible-tool/).
### Content groups and topic clusters
Content groups let you track URL patterns as a unit. You define patterns like:
```
/blog
/blog/*
/guides/*
/subject*
```
Once set up, you can see aggregate performance for each group: total clicks, impressions, CTR, and trend direction. This is useful for answering questions like "is my blog content growing or decaying as a whole?" or "how are my guides performing compared to my tutorials?"
Topic Clusters evolved from the original "Tracked Keywords" feature. You add specific keywords and SEO Gets groups the stats around them. Pick a keyword and drill down to see which pages rank, what queries drive traffic, and how the cluster trends over time.
### Index reporting for Super Sites
This is one of the most praised features in SEO Gets, and it launched in August 2025. Super Sites track up to 5,000 pages and show you:
- Indexing history over time
- Percentage of pages indexed
- Filterable views by indexing status
- Email alerts when indexing changes
If you've ever dealt with [getting deindexed from search engines](/deindexed-in-bing-and-duckduckgo-now-what/), you know how important it is to monitor indexing health proactively. Super Sites give you that visibility without manually checking URLs in GSC's URL Inspection tool.
This feature requires the Pro plan or a Super Site add-on ($10/month per additional site).
### Content decay heatmaps and monitoring
Launched in March 2026, content decay detection shows you which pages are losing traffic compared to their 90-day baseline. The dashboard includes a "Decaying Pages That May Need Refreshing" table with:
- Year-over-year comparison
- Top query changes for each decaying page
- Critical / Warning status levels
This is the feature I use most for prioritizing content refreshes. Instead of guessing which articles need updating, I can see exactly which ones are losing traction and what queries they're losing. It turns content maintenance from a guessing game into a data-driven process.
### Striking distance and cannibalization reports
**Striking Distance** shows keywords ranking in positions 4-20 where small improvements could yield meaningful traffic gains. Each result now includes the top non-branded query per page, so you know exactly which term to optimize for.
**Cannibalization** shows where multiple pages on your site compete for the same query. This is a common problem on content-heavy sites: two blog posts targeting the same keyword end up splitting the traffic instead of one page ranking well. The report now includes the top non-branded query per page, making it easy to decide which page to consolidate or redirect.
### SEO testing framework
Launched in February 2025, this gives you structured before/after tests for SEO changes. Change a title tag, update content, modify internal links, then measure the impact with a proper test setup.
The framework integrates with annotations, so you can separate the effects of your changes from algorithm updates. If a Google Core Update rolls out during your test, the annotations make it clear what caused the traffic shift.
The feature has matured since its rough early days in early 2025. It's useful enough for routine optimization, though some power users still run hybrid workflows with dedicated SEO testing tools.
### MCP server for Claude Desktop
This is an AI-era feature that went into public beta in April 2026. The MCP server lets you query your GSC and GA4 data directly inside Claude Desktop using natural language.
Ask things like "which pages lost the most traffic last month?" or "show me my top 10 growing queries" and Claude pulls the data from your SEO Gets account.
Setup requires a Core or Pro plan. You add the MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"seo-gets": {
"type": "url",
"url": "https://app.seogets.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
1. Sign up for a Core or Pro plan at [seogets.com](https://seogets.com/)
2. Go to `https://app.seogets.com/mcp` to get your API key
3. Open Claude Desktop settings and navigate to the MCP servers section
4. Add the server URL: `https://app.seogets.com/mcp`
5. Restart Claude Desktop
6. Start asking questions about your SEO data in natural language
If you're already exploring MCP-based workflows, this is a practical way to bring your SEO data into an AI assistant. See my [BrightData MCP guide](/brightdata-mcp-guide/) for more on what MCP servers can do.
### Team features, Magic Links, and client portals
SEO Gets added team functionality in November 2025 with four roles: Admin, Team Member, Contributor, and Viewer. You can share property access and manage team members from a central dashboard. Free tier users can also invite team members (added May 2025).
**Magic Links** generate shareable live dashboards for clients or stakeholders. They've been white-labeled since April 2025, so your clients see your branding, not SEO Gets'. This is useful if you're doing client work and want to give them a clean reporting view without granting full GSC access.
## Google Indexing Script: limitations you MUST know
The SEO Gets team's co-founder, Guilherme Oenning, also created the Google Indexing Script, a tool that uses the Google Indexing API to request faster indexing of URLs. The GitHub repo has 7.7k stars and 546 forks.
You can install and run it like this:
```bash
npm i -g google-indexing-script
mkdir ~/.gis && mv service_account.json ~/.gis
gis yourdomain.com
```
The Google Indexing API **only works for pages with `JobPosting` or `BroadcastEvent` structured data**. For regular blog posts, product pages, and standard content, this script will NOT work. Do not expect it to speed up indexing of your normal website content.
For regular pages, your best options are:
- Submit a sitemap in Google Search Console
- Use GSC's URL Inspection tool to request indexing manually (limited to a few URLs per day)
- Build strong internal linking so Googlebot discovers pages naturally
If you need to prepare a list of URLs for indexing audits, you can [export your WordPress post URLs](/export-wordpress-post-urls-titles/) to get a clean CSV.
This script only works if your pages have `JobPosting` or `BroadcastEvent` structured data. If that's your use case:
1. Create a Google Cloud service account with Indexing API access
2. Download the service account JSON key
3. Move it to `~/.gis/service_account.json`
4. Run `gis yourdomain.com` and the script will scan your sitemap and submit eligible URLs
5. It checks indexing status daily and re-submits URLs that return errors
For everyone else: skip this script. Focus on sitemaps and internal linking instead.
## How SEO Gets compares to other SEO analytics tools
### SEO Gets vs raw Google Search Console
Google Search Console gives you 1,000 data rows, single-site view, and basic filtering. SEO Gets gives you 50,000 rows, multi-site dashboard, and advanced filtering without regex. Add content decay detection, striking distance reports, cannibalization analysis, and SEO testing, and the gap widens.
GSC is still the authoritative source. SEO Gets reads from it. You need both, but you'll spend most of your time in SEO Gets.
### SEO Gets vs Looker Studio
Looker Studio is free and flexible, but you have to build dashboards yourself. That means setting up connectors, designing layouts, maintaining them when data sources change, and troubleshooting when things break. For a solo operator, that's hours of work before you see a single chart.
SEO Gets is purpose-built for SEO analytics. It works out of the box with features Looker Studio doesn't offer: content decay heatmaps, striking distance analysis, SEO testing, index reporting. If you don't enjoy building dashboards, SEO Gets wins on setup time alone.
### SEO Gets vs Ahrefs, Semrush, and other SEO suites
SEO Gets is **not** a replacement for Ahrefs or Semrush. It doesn't do:
- Backlink analysis
- Competitor research
- Keyword research from scratch
- Rank tracking outside your own GSC data
- Site audit crawling
These tools are complementary. Use SEO Gets for your own site's GSC and GA4 data — the daily analytics. Use Ahrefs or Semrush for competitive intelligence, backlink monitoring, and keyword research. If you're also looking at data collection approaches for SEO research, there are [web scraping tools for WordPress](/best-web-scraping-plugins-for-wordpress/) that fill different gaps.
**SEO Gets wins**: 50x more data rows, multi-site dashboard, content decay, striking distance, cannibalization, no regex needed.
**GSC wins**: Authoritative source, sitemap submission, URL inspection, Core Web Vitals, security issues, manual actions, free.
**Bottom line**: Use both. SEO Gets for daily analytics, GSC for admin tasks.
**SEO Gets wins**: Purpose-built for SEO, works out of the box, content decay, SEO testing, index reporting, zero setup time.
**Looker Studio wins**: Free, fully customizable, can combine any data source, not limited to SEO data.
**Bottom line**: Unless you enjoy building dashboards, SEO Gets is the better use of your time.
**SEO Gets wins**: GSC + GA4 unified view, content decay detection, cheaper for pure analytics, free tier available.
**Ahrefs/Semrush win**: Backlink analysis, competitor research, keyword research, site audit, rank tracking, content gap analysis.
**Bottom line**: Different tools for different jobs. SEO Gets for your own site data, Ahrefs/Semrush for competitive intelligence. You likely need both.
## What SEO Gets doesn't do (limitations)
Honest callouts, because no tool does everything:
- **No backlink data** — you still need Ahrefs or Semrush for link analysis
- **No competitor analysis** — SEO Gets only sees your own GSC/GA4 data
- **GA4 integration is paid-only** — Free plan doesn't include it
- **MCP access is paid-only** — requires Core or Pro
- **Index Reporting requires Super Sites** — Pro plan or $10/month add-on per site
- **16-month data retention on Free/Core** — 5-year history only available through Super Sites on Pro
- **SEO Testing is still maturing** — improved since early 2025, but some users run hybrid workflows with dedicated testing tools
In September 2025, Google removed the `&num=100` SERP parameter. This caused impression drops and position improvements across all GSC-based tools — not just SEO Gets. If your data shifted around that time, this is the explanation. SEO Gets added rank filtering for Super Sites in October 2025 to help normalize data across this change.
SEO Gets uses **read-only** access to your Google Search Console data. Here's what that means:
- It does NOT store your performance data permanently
- It temporarily stores a Google key for building dashboards
- Revoking access in your Google account removes all data
- No access to other Google products or services beyond what you explicitly grant
- No access to modify anything in GSC — read-only means read-only
If you're cautious about third-party access (and you should be), the read-only model is the minimum permission needed. You can revoke it anytime from your Google account's security settings.
If you're also concerned about data collection from AI bots crawling your site, here's a guide on how to [protect your website from AI crawlers](/block-ai-crawlers/).
## Final verdict: is SEO Gets worth it in 2026?
The free tier alone is worth it for any site owner. 50,000 data rows, multi-site dashboard, growth/decay filtering, branded vs non-branded queries, and Core Update annotations — all for $0. If you're managing 1–3 sites and just want better visibility into your GSC data, stop reading and go sign up.
The paid tiers make sense when you need GA4 unification, content decay detection, or client reporting. The Core plan at $39/month is the sweet spot for serious site operators who want GSC and GA4 in one place with actionable reports. The Pro plan at $49/month is for agencies and large sites that need index monitoring and MCP access.
It won't replace Ahrefs or Semrush for competitive research. It doesn't try to. SEO Gets does one thing — make your own site's search and analytics data usable — and it does it well.
If you're building or optimizing a site in 2026, whether it's on Astro, WordPress, or something else, and you need to pick the [best headless CMS for your Astro site](/best-headless-cms-for-astro/) or any other stack — pair it with SEO Gets from day one. The earlier you start tracking, the more useful the data becomes.
Free tier sufficient for 1–3 sites with 50K data rows
GA4 + GSC unified dashboard (Core plan and above)
Content decay detection for prioritizing content refreshes
50x more data rows than raw Google Search Console
MCP server for querying data in Claude Desktop (Pro plan)
No backlink data — you still need Ahrefs or Semrush
