To access Search Console, click the dropdown arrow next to the Website section of the business dashboard. Then click Search Console.

The Search Console page shows search performance data for the connected client website.

At the top right of the page, you will find the current date range and the date comparison selection. These settings are reflected in the dashboard metrics, comparing the selected date range against the chosen previous range.

The date range selector filters which Search Console data is displayed. By default, the system shows the last month. To choose a new date range, click the current date range to open the date selector.

Available preset range options include:

• Today.
• Yesterday.
• This Week, from Sunday through the current day of the week.
• This Month, from the first day of the month through today.
• Last Month, covering the full previous month.

To use a custom range, choose from these options:

• Enter a number of days prior to today to create a range ending today.
• Click a day in the calendar as a start or end date, then drag forward or backward to select a range.
• Hold the Shift key and click another date to select a range.

Check the newly selected date range just above the calendar, below the previous date range displayed above the selector window.

Click Confirm to update the performance data for the new date range. Click Cancel to return without updating the date range.

Select the Previous dropdown menu to choose the comparison data option used to show trends.

Comparison options include Previous Period, Previous Month, Previous Year, or None.
