SEO RECEIPTS VS GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE
Google Search Console is the first-party workspace for understanding how a property appears in Google Search. SEO Receipts reads selected data from it, publishes a public traffic page, and can prioritize one private SEO task.

Using both products
Use Search Console for the complete property analysis. Use SEO Receipts to publish the specific traffic figures you want other people to review.
Use Google's reports and filters to understand the change, its dimensions, and any data limitations.
Allow SEO Receipts to list the eligible properties and read performance data without permission to modify the site.
Publish the property-level traffic page and decide whether top queries or top pages should be visible.
Share the traffic page beside your explanation of the work, timing, limits, and business result.
Important limits
Clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position are Search Console metrics. They measure different things from sessions, people, conversions, and revenue. Aggregation and data availability can affect what you see, so interpret each figure using Google's definition.
Questions about access and data
No. Search Console remains Google's complete property workspace. SEO Receipts adds public verification, distribution, rankings, and an optional private execution workflow.
No. The Search Console connection requests the webmasters.readonly scope. It cannot change your site, sitemaps, or Search Console settings.
A screenshot can be cropped or left online after it becomes stale. The public traffic page keeps the property, reporting period, Google connection, and current verification state together on one stable URL.
Not necessarily. Search Console can aggregate data differently by property, page, query, and other dimensions. Compare like-for-like date windows and dimensions, and treat property-level totals as different from a sum of visible rows.
Connect one Search Console site
