Google Search Console in your Plash dashboard
Plash connects to Google Search Console and shows its numbers next to your other app tools, starting with clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for the last 28 finished days, with change. Connect it once, link it to any app, and get alerts when something changes.
What you see from Google Search Console
- Clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for the last 28 finished days, with change

What Plash reads
