   QuickSEO is now a free Search Console dashboard for all your websites

   Every Search Console property you manage on one screen, a full dashboard per website and a weekly technical audit — free. Page groups and the MCP server are on one paid plan.

   

   QuickSEO started as a Google Search Console dashboard, and that is what it is again. Connect Search Console once, pick the properties you want, and every website gets a card on one screen with its clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, each compared with the period before.

   Open a card for that website’s own dashboard: the performance chart, keywords, pages, countries and devices, the keywords and pages that grew or lost the most clicks, a branded vs non-branded filter, and a technical SEO audit that runs every week.

   All of that is free, for as many websites as you add, with no card. One paid plan adds page groups and the MCP server, which lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI agents read your Search Console data and audits.

   To get there we retired the features that pulled the product away from your search data: tracking how AI chatbots answer prompts about your brand, competitor and citation reports, the weekly results email, and AI-written articles with publishing to WordPress, Ghost and Shopify. The AI bot traffic reports are switched off for now.

   • Sign in with Google and Search Console is connected in the same step; sign in with an email code and you connect it right after.
   • Domain and URL-prefix properties both work. Properties where your Google account is only an unverified user are left out.
   • Add or remove websites any time from Add or manage websites.
   • Already paying for QuickSEO? Your plan keeps working and includes page groups and the MCP server.

   Retired

   Retired on October 9, 2026. Switched off when QuickSEO became a Search Console dashboard. AI bot traffic reports aren’t available on any plan right now.

   See which AI bots read your site

   A two-minute tracking snippet shows every visit from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and other AI crawlers — split by why they came.

   

   AI assistants can only recommend what they have read. Until now QuickSEO could show you where you are mentioned and cited, but not whether the bots behind those answers ever visit your site at all.

   Install the tracking snippet and QuickSEO records every visit from a known AI crawler, sorted by intent: AI Answers — an assistant fetching your page to answer someone’s question right now; Indexing — search and answer-engine crawlers building their indexes; and Training — crawlers gathering model training data.

   Your dashboard gets an AI Traffic card, and the full AI Traffic report shows the trend over time, every crawler, and the pages they read most. Click any crawler to see its visit history and the pages it reads.

   • Works with any stack — a Next.js or Express middleware, a PHP snippet, or a plain HTTP request from any backend. The tracking id lived in Settings → AI Traffic Tracking.
   • Bots are named by the product they serve — ChatGPT rather than GPTBot — with the technical user agent a hover away.
   • Recognizes around 50 known AI crawler user agents. Regular visitor traffic is never recorded.
   • Recording and the reports were part of the Pro and Business plans.
   • Visits were kept for 12 months, and the tracking id could be rotated at any time.
3. New

   August 15, 2026

   Retired

   Retired on October 9, 2026. Retired together with AI answer tracking when QuickSEO became a Search Console dashboard. The email is no longer sent.

   Tracking results now come to your inbox

   A short email recap of where your site stands in AI answers — once when your first scan finishes, then every Monday.

   

   Until now, knowing whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity had started mentioning you meant opening the dashboard and going looking. Most weeks nothing dramatic changes, so most weeks that trip was wasted — and the week something did move, nobody was watching.

   So the numbers now come to you. The moment your first full scan finishes, you get an email with the result. After that, a recap lands each Monday once the weekly scan has run: how many AI answers mention you out of the total checked, how that changed since last week, and your score on each platform you track.

   The email is deliberately short. It carries the one headline number, the per-platform breakdown, and a link into the dashboard for everything else.

   • Sent per site, to the account that owns it.
   • The weekly recap waits for that week’s scan to finish — if a scan did not complete, no email goes out rather than a repeat of last week’s numbers.
   • Counts are AI answers, not prompts: every prompt is asked on each platform you track, so 25 prompts across 3 platforms is 75 answers checked.
   • It could be turned off per site under Settings → Weekly Results Email, or with the unsubscribe link in the footer of any product email.
