Google has rolled out a useful update to Search Console, as announced in their official update on the Google Search Central Blog. Users can now view performance data in weekly and monthly intervals in addition to the existing daily and 24-hour data.

This update provides SEO professionals with more flexibility to analyze long-term trends and gain a deeper understanding of how their efforts affect search visibility over time.

For years, Search Console’s Performance report has primarily focused on daily data. Although helpful for short-term analysis, daily numbers often created fluctuations that made it difficult to identify real trends, especially when changes were small or gradual.

The introduction of weekly and monthly views smooths out these short-term ups and downs, allowing a clearer picture of overall progress. This allows SEO professionals to better understand how their work, content updates, seasonality, or algorithm shifts influence performance over time.

What This Update Helps With

Trend analysis: Instead of reacting to normal daily ups and downs, weekly or monthly views offer clearer trend patterns.
Performance reporting: Weekly and monthly summaries make reports easier to understand and more reliable for clients or internal teams.
Strategic decision making: Longer-term views help reveal when optimizations, content updates, or marketing efforts begin to show measurable impact.

Important Notes and Caveats

The update adds weekly and monthly views. It does not remove daily or 24-hour data. You can still use daily data for identifying short-term issues or quick testing.
Some users may receive access gradually because Google often rolls out Search Console features in stages.
This update affects reporting only; it does not alter how Google crawls, indexes, or ranks your sites or change the underlying data.
