Choose the decision before the export
A page report and a query report answer different questions. Select the property, period, device or country filters, and dimensions needed for the investigation. Preserve those choices with the file so a later comparison does not confuse a change in reporting conditions with a genuine change in performance.
Tools ↗Use the access path available to you
A supported manual export can provide a practical starting point. An API integration requires the correct account permissions, OAuth configuration, scopes, and error handling. A public page cannot provide live account access merely by showing a sign-in button. Never paste account secrets or authentication tokens into an inquiry form.
Searchgraph ↗Bring the data into a governed workflow
Review the receiving application’s accepted format and required fields before importing a file. SearchGraph is the relevant Graph Series destination for search-performance context; custom recurring extraction is a separate implementation question. Data freshness, source limits, and transformation rules should remain visible so the report can support an informed decision.
