Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 17 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions we grade
GSC Helper is a free Chrome extension from searchanalyzer.io that works inside Google Search Console. It charts performance by week, month or quarter with Google updates overlaid, keeps index coverage history beyond three months, adds annotations, RegEx filters and query n-grams, and merges crawl stats and indexing reports. It reads the data on screen and processes it in your browser, with no login for core features.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about GSC Helper, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but it sits inside the Search Console you already use and needs no login or API key for its core features.
- 1
Best for charts, notes and filters inside Search Console
GSC Helper adds weekly, monthly and quarterly charts with Google updates, index history past three months, annotations, RegEx filters, n-grams and bulk exports to Google Search Console, for free and with no login for its core features.
- 2
It is free
GSC Helper has no paid plan at all. The extension is free, and its core features need no login or separate account; searchanalyzer.io's own platform is sold separately.
- 3
Performance over time
Charts clicks and impressions by day, week, month or quarter with Google updates overlaid, for Search, Google News and Discover reports.
- 4
Index coverage history
Builds a local history of indexed and not-indexed pages beyond Search Console's three-month window, and merges several indexing reports into one view.
- 5
Annotations
Pin deploys and content changes on every Search Console chart, color-coded by tag and scoped to a property, folder or URL, with ticket links.
- 6
A 3.0 GPA, above 17 of 34
That is against the other SEO browser extensions we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it

The report card
Best for charts, notes and filters inside Search Console
GSC Helper adds weekly, monthly and quarterly charts with Google updates, index history past three months, annotations, RegEx filters, n-grams and bulk exports to Google Search Console, for free and with no login for its core features. It works only inside Search Console on properties you can access, it's Chrome only, and the FAQ says figures can show wrongly after switching views until you refresh.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free from searchanalyzer.io, with every feature of the extension included. The company's own Search Console platform is sold separately. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright: charts, index history, annotations, filters, n-grams and bulk exports, with no login for the core features and optional read-only API access. |
| Features | C | Performance by week, month or quarter with Google updates, index history past three months, annotations, RegEx filters, n-grams, merged crawl stats and BigQuery SQL. It does Search Console analysis fully, a smaller job, with no page checks. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but it sits inside the Search Console you already use and needs no login or API key for its core features. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Chrome only, so computers only, the vendor's page says. It works inside Google Search Console and writes SQL for Google BigQuery. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who GSC Helper is for
- Fits if you spend your days in Search Console and keep exporting it to spreadsheets
- Works for agencies pinning site changes against traffic on client properties
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you don't have access to the site's Search Console property, as it works nowhere else
- Too light for page checks, since it reads Search Console reports and checks nothing on a page
- Watch out: the FAQ says figures can show wrongly after switching views or properties until you refresh
- Not for you if you're not on Chrome, and the developer hasn't identified itself as a trader, so EU consumer rights don't apply
