Alerts

Hear about changes before your traffic does.

Search Console on the web will email you about some things, eventually. The app watches the numbers that matter and tells you on your iPhone: a Monday digest, a traffic-drop warning and an indexing alert, all scheduled on the device.

Three alerts

The ones you would actually want.

No noise, no "your site had 3 clicks today". Three notifications designed around the questions you ask anyway: how did last week go, has anything fallen off a cliff, and is everything still on Google.

Weekly digestMon 8:00
wildtrails.co got 11,240 clicks last week, up 12% on the week before.
Traffic dropWed 8:00

Weekly digest

Every Monday morning, one notification per site with last week's clicks and the change against the week before. The Monday-morning "how did we do?" answered before you have opened a laptop.

If you manage several sites, you see at a glance which one needs attention first.

Traffic drop

If a site's clicks fall by 20% or more compared with the previous period, you hear about it. Algorithm updates, a broken redirect, a page accidentally set to noindex: whatever the cause, you find out in days rather than at the end of the month.

Open the app and the Performance report for that site shows which queries and pages moved.

Indexing alert

When pages drop out of Google's index, or start returning errors like 404, the app tells you how many and on which site. Catching it early is the difference between a quick fix and a slow slide in traffic.

The Indexing report shows the reasons, already grouped and counted.

How it works

Scheduled on your iPhone, with no server in between.

Most notification systems work by having a server poll your data on your behalf, which means handing that server your Google token. The app does not do that. It fetches your Search Console data on the device, compares it with the previous period on the device, and schedules a local notification on the device. Your data and your token never leave your iPhone to make an alert happen.

What that means in practice

  • Nothing to sign up for. No account with us, no email address, no push-token registration. Turn alerts on in Settings and that is it.
  • Nothing to trust. There is no third-party server holding your Google credentials, because there is no third-party server.
  • Turn it off anywhere. Switch alerts off in the app's Settings, or silence the app entirely in iOS notification settings.

Timing

Google's search data runs about two days behind real time, so a "last week" digest on Monday morning reflects the most recent complete week Google has reported. The app schedules alerts for the morning so they are waiting when you pick up your phone, not interrupting you at midnight.

Free. All three alerts are included in the free tier, on every site on your account. Pro is about history and speed data, not about who gets told when things break.

Let your phone watch your sites.

Free on the App Store. Alerts are set up in one tap once you have connected your Google account.
