SEO RECEIPTS VS REPORTING DASHBOARDS

Using both products
A case study can use both products. The reporting system holds the full analysis and business context, while the public traffic page shows the specific Google organic figure a reader should be able to check.
Use the private dashboard to explain goals, work completed, traffic sources, conversions, and client-specific context.
Decide which Google organic result is appropriate to disclose and obtain the property owner's permission.
Create a standardized public profile with the query and page privacy settings the owner approves.
Add the traffic page to the case study or update while keeping confidential reporting data private.
Important limits
Products in this category differ widely. Some are connectors and visualizers; others include rank tracking, audits, client portals, automation, or recommendations. Verify the exact data connections, metric definitions, refresh behavior, sharing controls, pricing, and privacy terms of any dashboard you consider.
Questions about access and data
It includes public traffic profiles and private Search Console views. A broad, white-label, cross-channel client reporting system covers more sources, custom reporting, and delivery options.
Yes. Keep the detailed report in the existing tool and link the public traffic page wherever a reader should be able to inspect the organic traffic figure.
No. It confirms the Search Console traffic for the property and period. The case study still needs to explain the work, timeline, baseline, other factors, and outcome.
Top queries and top pages have separate public visibility controls, and private plans and workbench details stay private. Publishing any client property still requires explicit client authorization.
Connect one Search Console site
Start with one owned or explicitly authorized property and the organic traffic figures you want people to inspect.
