Questions, answered
Will it make any changes to my site or Search Console settings?
Never. It only reads data - no settings are changed and no content is touched. All action is yours.
What counts as a 'significant' drop?
By default, a 20% click drop or 30% impression drop over seven days. You can tune these thresholds in the plan to match your traffic scale.
Can it tell me why a page dropped?
It surfaces the data - the size of the drop, the affected queries, and whether analytics confirms it - but diagnosing the root cause (algorithm change, content issue, technical problem) is left to you.
