Extended Storage:
Keep 5 Years of Search Console Data

One slot = one property, protected daily
Each slot continuously stores full dimensional data, including queries, pages, countries, and devices, so the history Google is about to delete stays safe and accessible in your dashboard.
Your SEO History Has
An Expiry Date
Google's ~16-month retention window quietly destroys the long-term record you need most, and once it's gone, no tool on earth can recover it.
Google Deletes Your History
After roughly 16 months, your clicks, impressions, rankings, and keyword data are erased from Search Console, gone forever, with no way to get them back.
No True Year-Over-Year
GSC simply can't show you performance beyond 16 months, so genuine year-over-year analysis across multiple years is impossible natively.
Seasonal Trends Vanish
Seasonal businesses need to compare several years of traffic patterns to plan ahead, but those older seasons are already deleted.
Penalty Investigations Stall
Diagnosing an algorithm change or penalty requires historical context. If the update was 18 months ago, the data you need no longer exists.
Long-Term Reporting Gaps
Clients and stakeholders expect multi-year trend reporting, and there's no way to deliver it when the underlying data has expired.
Manual Exports Are Fragile
Exporting GSC data every month before it expires depends on never forgetting once. Miss a single month and that window is permanently lost.
Long-Term Data,
Captured Automatically
Set a slot once and Extended Storage does the rest, pulling, preserving, and extending your Search Console history with no manual exports, reminders, or gaps.
Per-Property Slots
Purchase one or more storage slots on a monthly subscription. Each slot is dedicated to a single property, keeping its long-term data clean, accurate, and isolated.
Up to 5 Years Retained
Data is continuously ingested daily and stored for up to five years, well beyond Google's native ~16-month limit and far past any GSC-native solution.
Full Dimensional Data
Stores the complete breakdown, including queries, pages, countries, and devices, not just aggregate totals, so historical analysis stays as deep as live data.
Immediate Backfill
On slot assignment, the oldest ~30 days of GSC data, the data most at risk of deletion, is backfilled instantly, then daily ingestion captures expiring data going forward.
Manage Slots Anytime
Assign, swap, or remove properties and increase or decrease your slot count from billing whenever you need, with a 30-day lock after each assignment.
Grace Period Protection
If a slot is cancelled or expires, your data is held for two months before deletion, with four email warnings sent throughout so nothing disappears by surprise.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about Extended Storage.
One slot equals one property. You choose which property each slot stores data for, and slots are stackable, so you purchase one slot per property you want to protect long-term.
Activation immediately backfills the oldest ~30 days available from GSC, the data at highest risk of deletion. From there, ongoing daily ingestion automatically captures new expiring data so nothing falls through the cracks.
Up to 5 years. Data is ingested daily and retained well beyond Google Search Console's native ~16-month window.
Yes. It's fetched directly from your own Google Search Console account using your verified access, so it's your real data, not a third-party estimate.
Queries, pages, countries, and devices, the same full dimensional breakdowns available in GSC, not just aggregate totals.
After assigning a property to a slot, you can't change that assignment for 30 days. This prevents abuse and gives the backfill time to complete.
Your data is held for 2 months before deletion. You'll receive four email warnings: immediately when the slot goes inactive, then at 30 days, 15 days, and 2 days before deletion.
The new property starts being tracked immediately and gets a historical backfill, while the old property's data enters the 2-month grace period before deletion.
Yes. Purchase one slot per property. Slots are stackable, and you can increase or decrease your slot count at any time from billing.
Yes. If a dashboard is shared with another user, they can access the extended storage data for that property.
Directly in the Serpview date filter. Extended date options, such as "All Time", "24 months", or "3 years", appear automatically when a slot is active for the current property, with no tool switching required.
Only if you do it every single month before the data expires, without ever missing one. Miss a single month and that data is gone permanently. Extended Storage automates this so you never have to remember.
