How to Query Google Search Console Data Using Natural Language
The Search Console Explorer in QueryBurst accepts questions in plain English — "which queries lost the most clicks last month?", "top pages by impressions on mobile" — queries GSC via an AI agent, and returns results as metrics cards, sortable tables, charts, and period comparisons. Use "Generate Full Report" to produce a summarised performance overview automatically. Use it instead of manually building reports with filters, date ranges, and dimensions.
How to Access Search Console Explorer in QueryBurst
Click Search Console in the sidebar. The page is available to Pro users with at least one Google Search Console property connected.
If no properties are connected, you'll be prompted to set one up from the Integrations page.
Understanding the Interface
Chat Interface
The main view is a conversational chat. Type a question about your search performance and the agent will:
- Determine which GSC property and date range to query
- Fetch the data from Google's API
- Return a structured response with the appropriate visualizations
Suggested queries appear on the welcome screen to help you get started:
- "Show me top pages by clicks"
- "Which queries gained the most impressions this month?"
- "Compare last 28 days to the previous 28 days"
- "How has my traffic trended over the last 6 months?"
After your first exchange, follow-up suggestions appear below the input — "Show queries for that page", "Compare to previous period", "Show me the trend over time" — and the agent maintains conversation history so follow-ups reference prior context.
Connected Properties
The welcome screen lists all connected GSC properties. The agent automatically selects the appropriate property based on your question, or you can specify one by name.
Response Blocks
Agent responses can include multiple rich block types:
| Block Type | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Text | Markdown-formatted analysis and commentary |
| Metrics | Summary cards (clicks, impressions, CTR, avg position) with optional deltas |
| Table | Sortable, filterable data tables with pagination and drill-down filters (gainers/losers/new/lost) |
| Chart | Line charts (date trends) or bar charts (top pages/queries) |
| Comparison | Side-by-side period comparison with per-metric deltas |
| Scatter | Scatter plots (e.g. position vs CTR, sized by clicks) |
| Pie | Pie/donut charts for distribution breakdowns (devices, countries) |
| Area Stack | Stacked area charts showing composition over time |
Tables
Tables returned by the agent support:
- Column sorting — Click any header to sort ascending or descending
- Text filtering — Search within the dimension column (pages, queries, etc.)
- Min clicks filter — Exclude low-traffic rows
- Delta filters — In comparison tables, toggle between All / Losers / Gainers / New / Lost
- Load more — Paginated loading for large result sets
Full Report
Click Generate Full Report on the welcome screen (or Full Report in the follow-up suggestions) to generate a comprehensive pre-built analysis.
The report covers:
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Overview | Summary metrics for the last 28 days |
| Traffic Trends | 28-day and 6-month (weekly) trend charts |
| Period Comparison | Last 28 days vs previous 28 days with deltas |
| Top Gainers | Pages and queries gaining the most clicks |
| Pages Losing Traffic | Pages with the biggest click drops |
| Impression Drops | Pages losing search visibility |
| Underperforming Pages | High-impression, low-CTR opportunities |
| Country Breakdown | Traffic by country with flags |
| Device Split | Desktop vs mobile vs tablet distribution |
You can switch between properties, regenerate the report, and Print the result for sharing (the report is print-optimized with clean formatting).
Tips
- Be specific — "Show top 10 pages by clicks for the last 7 days" gives more useful results than "show pages"
- Use follow-ups — Ask "Show queries for that page" after seeing a top page to understand what drives its traffic
- Compare periods — Ask "Compare last 28 days to the previous 28 days" to spot trends
- Filter in tables — Use the built-in filter tools on large result tables to zero in on what matters
- Generate the full report when you want a comprehensive snapshot without asking individual questions
- Print the report to share with stakeholders who don't have access
