Daily snapshots, retained for years
Every connected property is captured daily across queries, pages, devices, and countries. No gaps, no rolling 16-month window.
Feature
Store Google Search Console data beyond 16 months
Google's 16-month limit erases the historical context you need to spot real SEO trends. Stash Clicks captures your Search Console data daily so you keep every click, impression, and ranking on hand for years.
Key benefits
Custom reports stay intact
Brand vs non-brand splits, target country reports, and your custom taxonomies are stored alongside the raw GSC data.
No pipelines to babysit
Skip BigQuery exports, schema migrations, and warehouse bills. We handle ingestion, storage, and the dashboard on top.
Feature details
The problem
Why does Google Search Console only keep 16 months of data?
Google Search Console caps performance data at the most recent 16 months across both the UI and the Search Analytics API. Every day, the oldest day quietly rolls off the back of that window.
Google cites storage cost, query performance, and policy concerns around long-tail query data. The result is the same for SEOs: when you want to compare this quarter to two years ago, the data simply isn't there.
The current options
Other ways to store GSC data, and why most teams skip them
There are a few ways to keep Search Console data beyond 16 months today, but each one comes with real overhead:
- BigQuery export. Powerful, but needs Google Cloud, billing, permissions, and a BI tool.
- Custom API pipelines. Daily polling, pagination, normalization, forever.
- Spreadsheets. Quick to start, impossible to scale across properties.
- Manual snapshots. Depend on someone remembering, every single month.

Everything you need to know about this feature
Google caps Search Console performance data at 16 months for both the UI and the Search Analytics API. The cap is driven by storage cost, query performance, and policy considerations around long-tail query data. Stash Clicks works alongside GSC by capturing the data daily so it does not roll out of view.
Yes, Google offers a bulk data export to BigQuery, and it works well if you already have a Google Cloud project, billing configured, an admin who understands IAM, and a BI tool layered on top. For most SEO teams that is a lot of overhead, which is exactly what Stash Clicks removes.
BigQuery is a raw data warehouse: it stores rows, but you still need to design the schema, manage costs, and build the reporting layer. Stash Clicks bundles ingestion, long-term storage, and an SEO-focused dashboard so you can analyze historical trends straight away without engineering work.
We store daily clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position for each connected property, broken out by query, page, device, and country. Brand vs non-brand splits, target country reports, custom taxonomies, and your saved filters are stored alongside the raw data.
As soon as you connect a property through Google OAuth we begin pulling everything Search Console will give us, then continue capturing new data daily. From that point on, your historical record keeps growing for as long as the property stays connected.
You can export your stashed data at any time, including during the cancellation window. We retain it for 30 days after cancellation in case you change your mind, and after that it is permanently deleted.
