Google Search Console toont nu Realtime Daten

The Google Search Console is an indispensable tool for every website owner, regardless of whether you run your own blog, an online store or a company website. This tool provides insight into which pages are indexed by Google and how your website performs in the search network. It offers a unique opportunity to take a look into the "lion's den" and see where your website can be improved. It also tells you what content is of interest to both your visitors and Google.

Now Google has added a new feature to Search Console: You can now see data from the last 24 hours. In this blog post, we explain exactly what this new feature means, why it is important and how you can make the most of it.

What does the new function entail?

The new update in Google Search Console allows you to view data from the last 24 hours. Whereas previously you had to rely on data that was often one or more days old, you can now analyze how your website is performing almost instantly.


This is a huge step forward, especially for anyone who regularly publishes new content or actively runs campaigns. With this real-time data, you can: See how new pages and articles are performing faster.

See hourly clicks over the last 24 hours. Better anticipate trends and current events. Get instant feedback on technical changes or SEO optimizations.

Results in your own time zone

Another advantage of this update is that the data is displayed in your own time zone. This means that you no longer have to make complicated calculations to determine exactly when something took place. You can easily see how your website performed at specific points in time, for example after a new release or marketing campaign. Especially for companies that do a lot of business in other time zones but are based in the Netherlands, for example, this is very handy as you no longer have to convert the results to local time. Of course, you also need to convert here to display the results correctly.

Helpful for up-to-date insights

The ability to view data from the last 24 hours is particularly useful in situations where speed is of the essence.


For example: campaigns: When you launch a new campaign, you can see almost immediately which search queries are generating traffic. Technical problems:
In the event of technical faults, you can analyze more quickly whether and how they have affected traffic. Current content: When you create content that responds to current events, you can immediately see how well it's performing.

With this real-time insight, you can adjust and optimize your website faster to get the most out of it.
