Google Search Console SEO tools
Google Search Console SEO tools, compared by what they hand back.
Every tool here reads the same Search Console data. What differs is the output: a chart, raw rows, a test result, or the next change to make.
From $49/mo, everything included · works in Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and Windsurf
Side by side
Same data. Four different outputs.
Every tool below reads your own Search Console over Google's API, not a third-party estimate. Pick on what comes back, and on whether your history survives past 16 months.
| Tool | What you get back | History past 16 months | Where you read it | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Search Console | Charts and tables of your clicks, impressions and position. | No. A rolling 16 months. | Browser. | Free. |
| Looker Studio | Reports you build from the native Search Console connector. | Reads Search Console live, so no more than it holds. | Browser. | Free. |
| SEO Gets | Dashboards, content groups, striking-distance and decay reports, tests. | Paid add-on, $10/mo per site, kept from the day it is turned on. | Browser, Chrome extension, MCP. | Free plan. Core $59/mo. |
| SEOTesting | Time-based and split tests that prove whether a change worked. | Stored long-term. | Browser, Chrome extension, API and MCP. | From $50/mo for 1 site. |
| Open-source GSC MCP servers | Raw rows handed to your coding agent. | No. Reads live. | Your IDE, on a server you host. | Free. |
| QueryScope | One search, one page, one change, and who ranks above you. Then it measures the change. | Backfilled on connect, then a daily snapshot. | Your IDE, hosted. | $49/mo for 1 site, $99 for 3, $149 for 10. |

Pick by the output you need.
You want to look at the numbers.
Search Console itself, or a Looker Studio report on top of it. Both are free, and both forget everything past 16 months.
You report on many sites, often for clients.
SEO Gets: unlimited sites, client portals and weekly summary emails, with a free plan to start.
SEO Gets compared with QueryScopeYou already know the change, and need to prove it worked.
SEOTesting: split tests with a control group, time-based tests, and AI-assistant traffic from GA4.
SEOTesting compared with QueryScopeYou want your coding agent to know what to change next.
A self-hosted MCP server hands it rows to sort. QueryScope hands it one change on a named page, waits for your commit, and measures it from Google's recrawl.

Try QueryScope on one site.
Add the server to your IDE with the line below, then authorize Search Console in the browser that opens.
claude mcp add --transport http queryscope https://mcp.queryscope.dev/mcpWorks the same in Cursor, Cline and Windsurf. Your IDE opens a browser once to authorize.
Then ask: “what should I work on?”
FAQ
Google Search Console SEO tools: common questions.
Do these tools use different data?
No. All of them read your own Search Console through Google's API, so the clicks, impressions and positions are the same. They differ in what they keep, and in what they hand back.
Which ones keep data past 16 months?
Search Console and Looker Studio do not. SEO Gets keeps it as a paid add-on from the day you turn it on, SEOTesting stores it long-term, and QueryScope backfills what Google still holds on connect and keeps a daily snapshot from then on. None of them can bring back data Google has already dropped.
Is there a free Search Console SEO tool?
Yes: Search Console itself, Looker Studio, the SEO Gets free plan, and the open-source MCP servers if you are willing to host one. QueryScope is paid, from $49/mo for one site. For the free tools that check the site itself, see SEO tools for developers.
Is QueryScope connected to Google?
QueryScope is independent and not affiliated with Google. It reads your own Search Console over a read-only grant you approve, and you can revoke it at any time from your Google account or from ours.
