Google Search Console is a valuable tool for understanding your website’s performance on Google Search. At Varn, we use it almost daily for a variety of search-related tasks for our clients; take a look at some easy ways to use Search Console for SEO to get started with the tool. Recently, Google introduced a new feature called Bulk Data Export, which allows users to export their Search Console data into BigQuery. This enables you to access historical data and combine it with other data sources, to perform advanced analysis and gain deeper insights into your website’s performance and search traffic. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of Search Console Bulk Data Export and how it can enhance your SEO strategy.
The introduction of Search Console’s Bulk Data Export feature has opened up new possibilities for in-depth analysis.

This enhanced analysis can provide a more comprehensive understanding of website performance and inform actionable SEO strategies.
The process of setting up bulk data exports is straightforward and user-friendly. However, there are a few too many steps to include in this blog, so visit the full setup instructions from Google for more detail.
