Once a site is linked to a Search Console property, PerfBee shows Google's numbers next to the pages it crawled. You see them in Site Pages, in Page Detail and in the Fixes list. This article explains each place and how to read the numbers. To connect, see Connect Google Search Console. The numbers are on every plan and cost no credits.
Site Pages columns
Open Site Crawler, then Site Pages, and pick the site. In the Pages view, these columns come from Google:
- Clicks 28d: clicks from Google Search in the last 28 days, with the change against the 28 days before.
- Impressions: how often the page appeared in search results in the same 28 days.
- Avg position: the average position of the page in search results, as Google reports it.
- Index status: what Google says about the page. The column appears once PerfBee has asked Google about at least one page, with Inspect now on every plan or with the scheduled checks on Starter and up. See URL Inspection: Google Index Status.
A dash in Clicks 28d, Impressions or Avg position means Google gave no number for that page. If Google's list was complete, Google reported no impressions for that address in the 28 days. If the list was cut off, the page may still have traffic. You can sort the list by Clicks 28d and by Impressions.
Filters
- Has search traffic: pages with clicks or impressions in the last 28 days.
- No impressions in window: pages Google did not show in the last 28 days. PerfBee offers this filter only when Google's list was complete.
- Not on Google: pages PerfBee finds indexable that Google says are not in its index. It lists only pages PerfBee has asked Google about, and it appears with the Index status column.
- Google chose another canonical: pages where the main address Google picked is not the one the page names itself. It appears with the Index status column.
Only in Google
The Only in Google view lists addresses that Google reports and that no crawl of your site reached. Each row says what PerfBee knows: a redirect it has seen, an address outside the crawled folder, an address with a query string, a page your robots.txt blocks, or unknown. Unknown means check it.
To check them, tick the rows marked Unknown: check it or Redirect we know and press Check these URLs. Other rows cannot be ticked, because a scan would tell you nothing new about them. PerfBee starts a scan of that list of addresses, up to 2,000 in one scan. It shows the credits first and asks you to confirm. PerfBee never crawls these addresses by itself. A scan of a list never marks other pages as missing.
Page Detail
Open a page in Site Pages. The Search tab shows its clicks, impressions and average position for the last 28 days. Clicks and impressions come with the change against the 28 days before. It also shows the index status, with an Inspect now button. When PerfBee has no Google data for the page, the tab says so. It says there were no impressions only when Google's list was complete.
Fixes
When a site has Google data, the Fixes list takes the clicks into account: a fix that affects pages with more clicks ranks higher. A site with no Google data ranks exactly as before. Fixes also adds groups from Google data:
- Pages with search traffic that are noindex, canonicalised or broken.
- Indexable pages Google has not indexed.
Downloads
The Site Pages download in CSV or Excel carries the Google columns that show on screen, and adds the clicks and impressions of the 28 days before. A live link for Google Sheets never carries Google numbers. Downloads are for Starter and up. Google numbers are not in shared report pages, in AI insights, or in the answers of AI apps you connect through the MCP server.
Reading the numbers right
- The window. Every number covers the last 28 days that Google has final data for. Search Console data is a few days behind, so the newest days are missing.
- The limit. Google gives at most the top 50,000 pages by clicks. When PerfBee had to stop there, Site Pages and the Google Search Console & Analytics card in My Sites say so, and a page missing from the list shows no number.
- Canonical pages. Google credits a page's numbers to the canonical address it picked. A page whose canonical points elsewhere can show nothing while the other address shows the numbers.
- Matching. PerfBee matches Google's addresses to crawled pages by address. A trailing slash counts, so
/pageand/page/are two addresses. - Refresh. PerfBee refreshes once a day. It skips a site with no scan and no sign-in to your workspace in the last 30 days. Press Refresh on the Google Search Console & Analytics card of the site in My Sites to ask sooner, once an hour for each site.
PerfBee never reads search queries. It does not know which words people typed.
