Workflow setup

Prerequisites

Verified Search Console property access for the site.

A reporting view for target queries, pages, countries, devices, and date ranges.

Trakkr tracking for AI Overview, Gemini, prompt, citation, and competitor visibility where relevant.

Setup steps

  1. 1

    Open the generative AI performance views

    Use Google Search Console reports for AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Discover generative features where they are available for your property.

  2. 2

    Compare pages and queries

    Segment by page, query, country, device, and date range so AI search movement is not hidden inside aggregate search performance.

  3. 3

    Use the API for repeatable exports

    Use Search Console API access for Search Analytics, site, and sitemap data when you need to blend Search Console data into recurring reporting.

  4. 4

    Map Search Console exposure to Trakkr visibility

    Compare AI Overview and AI Mode exposure with Trakkr prompts, citation data, cited URLs, competitors, and actions.

  5. 5

    Report what changed and why

    Use Trakkr reports or Looker Studio to explain changes in impressions, page coverage, citations, and action progress.

How Trakkr fits

Turn the platform signal into action

Trakkr adds prompt, citation, competitor, and crawler context around Search Console generative AI exposure.

Looker Studio reporting can blend Search Console, GA4, BigQuery, and Trakkr into one stakeholder view.

Actions turn Search Console movement into fixes instead of another passive report.
