Measured clicks, per query, as you.
Only Search Console counts real clicks. Your Google account, added by the owner, reads it as you.

what you can ask
Your AI reads clicks, impressions and position as Google measured them.
One query: a date range, dimensions, a filter. Back come clicks, impressions, CTR and position.
Clicks, impressions, position
By query, page, country, device or date.
A page's real query set
Including its own keyword's row, so empty rankings show.
The whole site in one query
A domain property covers every subdomain and protocol.
Click math, against the models
Whether a change moved clicks is read only here.
Who reaches a property
Restricted access reads everything; full access manages sitemaps.
where the credential stays
Your Google account is the key.
The owner adds you to the property. That grant is the whole credential.
in Search Console
Your own account, or a service account for a server. A page's average position mixes every query, so one off-topic query skews it.
in your brain
A page names the properties, their owner and any service account.
what instibrain never touches
Modelled numbers never pass as measured.
The grant lives on the property. Our server stores the owners page.
- A service account key off its machine.
Only the rows leave that machine.
- A page-level position as a verdict.
The query set is checked first.
- A modelled number in place of a measured one.
Clicks come from here, never from a tool's estimate.
the limits
Your AI sees only what Google Search showed.
What Search Console measures, and what it leaves out.
| Limit | What it means |
|---|---|
| It answers only what Google Search showed | No other engines, no AI answers. |
| A page's position is an average | A page's figure mixes every query it shows for. |
| Access is the owner's to give | Nothing is read before the grant. |
before you connect it
Your AI trusts Search Console's clicks over any estimate.
Does instibrain connect to Search Console?
No. Your own Google account reads it, on the owner's grant.
Why not trust the tool's position?
A tool models traffic. Search Console counts the clicks.
What can it answer that nothing else can?
Real clicks, and the queries a page really ranks for.
The one place that counts clicks.
Name the properties once. Every AI trusts the measured number first.
