What it does

Starts your buyer questions from the searches people really make: your saved searches supply up to 5 of the weekly check's questions, replacing generic discovery prompts. Once you have history, "Questions to win next" go first: rising searches the engines don't name you for. It also shows pages that rank on Google but are missing from AI answers. Read-only; we never hold write access.

Set it up

Available today: CSV import. In Search Console open Performance, then Queries, export to CSV. Paste it in the app under Connect data → Search Console data (or send the rows to POST /api/gsc). When you include your tracked brand, we save the query set with that brand — query, clicks, impressions and average position. Each import becomes your current set and is also kept as a dated snapshot, so importing monthly (Search Console's "Last 28 days" filter) shows which searches are rising. Pick the date range you exported when you paste. Account deletion removes it all.

Coming soon: connect read-only. On a paid plan, Connect data → Google Search Console → Connect Search Console opens Google's consent screen for the read-only Search Console scope, signed in as your own Google account. This is OAuth, so you will not paste a key, and the token is held by our OAuth provider (Nango), not by RulerIQ. Then pick the property for your tracked brand's domain and press Import top queries: we save the top 500 queries from the last 90 days as your current set, then load the last 16 months one month at a time as history. Only properties your Google account can already see are listed. It is switched off until Google has approved our consent screen.

What the history shows

On the Questions page, once you have saved data:

Questions to win next. Searches with real Google demand where the AI engines don't reliably name you, or that your weekly check doesn't ask yet. Rising demand and a page-1 rank move a search up the list. Branded searches are left out.
Clicks falling while rank holds. Searches where your Google position and demand held, but the share of people who click fell by 30% or more. A common cause is an AI answer shown above the results; Search Console alone can't confirm that, so we say so.

Comparisons are per day between two periods: with six months or more of history, about the latest three months against the three before; otherwise your newest import against the one before it. Searches with too few impressions to read are left out. Every number is computed by code from your own data.

Test it

CSV or connected import: the app shows the saved set (and how many queries were imported), and the next weekly check includes up to 5 of them.

What RulerIQ can and can't access

Query, clicks, impressions and average position for the property you choose. It cannot change your Search Console settings, sitemaps or users.

Disconnect and delete

Saved queries and history go with your account. We keep the newest 24 snapshots per brand. Disconnect on the card deletes the access token (imported queries stay until you replace them or close your account); closing your account revokes it too. You can always revoke live access at your Google account's third-party access page.
