How is this different from native Search Console?+
Native Search Console compares two periods one table at a time and has no view for low-hanging fruit or keyword cannibalization. This dashboard puts winners, losers, fruit and cannibalization on one screen, with period deltas computed automatically.
Is the dashboard really free?+
Yes. Free and read-only. The only requirement is a Google account with Search Console access. No Lumina account, no subscription. The data views have no Lumina limit, only Google's API quotas. The Ask AI follow-ups get 10 free credits a day unless you add your own OpenAI key.
What data does Lumina access?+
Only the webmasters.readonly OAuth scope, enough to read your Search Console data. Lumina can't modify anything or reach other Google services. Your OAuth tokens stay in your browser's localStorage, a Lumina worker only swaps the login code for tokens, and the data requests go straight from your browser to Google. When you click Ask AI, that row's numbers and your site URL go through Lumina's worker to OpenAI.
Which filters are available?+
You can filter by page (URL), keyword (query) and country. Every filter supports Contains, Exact, Starts with, Ends with and Doesn't contain. All three go into the Search Console API query itself, so totals, charts and every table follow the same filter.
Which date ranges work?+
24 hours, 7 days, 28 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 16 months, and a custom date range picker. Google's Search Console API returns a maximum of 16 months of historical data.
Can I switch between GSC properties?+
Yes. The property dropdown at the top of the dashboard lists all properties from your connected Google account. Switch any time and the dashboard reloads with fresh data.
How do I get started with this Google Search Console dashboard?+
Click the Connect button and sign in with a Google account that has access to your Search Console property (owner or user). The dashboard uses read-only OAuth, so it can't change anything. Once connected, the property dropdown populates with every property you have access to. Pick one and the data loads.
What key metrics does the dashboard track?+
The same four metrics Google's native GSC shows: clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position. The difference is how the data is presented. This dashboard computes period-over-period deltas for every query, groups them by performance change, and surfaces cannibalization clusters where three or more of your pages show up for the same query.
Can I export the dashboard data?+
Yes. Every table has a CSV button that downloads the visible rows with the active filters and period deltas, and a Copy button that puts the whole table on your clipboard as tab-separated text, ready for a spreadsheet. The same data is available via the GSC API if you need programmatic access.
Does this work for Bing Webmaster Tools?+
No, this dashboard only works with Google Search Console. Bing has its own Webmaster Tools with a separate API and data model. Building a Bing version is on the backlog, but Google handles the majority of search traffic for most sites, so GSC was the priority.
