The 16-month problem
Every day, Google deletes the oldest day of your SEO history.
Search Console only retains 16 months. Last year's seasonality, the keyword that used to be your top performer, the run-up to your traffic peak. All of it falls off the back, quietly, without warning.
Without KeywordHistory
- Today's data only goes back 16 months
- Year-over-year comparisons miss seasonal anchors
- No record of keywords you used to rank for
- Past algorithm updates have no traffic context
With KeywordHistory
- 16 months backfilled on day one
- Every day after extends your archive forever
- Old keywords stay queryable indefinitely
- Annotations pin context to every chart, permanently
How it works
- Connect Search Console with Google OAuth
- KeywordHistory syncs daily into BigQuery

KeywordHistory works with three different setups depending on how much of your own Google Cloud Platform (GCP)?Google Cloud Platform is Google's suite of cloud services, similar to Amazon AWS. The only part of it KeywordHistory uses is BigQuery, their cloud database. setup you already have.
