I’m running several websites and I’m struggling to keep track of all the SEO performance data. Right now I’m just copying numbers from Analytics and Search Console into spreadsheets, but it’s getting messy and I keep mixing up which stats belong to which site.
I feel like there must be a better way to organize all this information. Do you have any recommendations for tools or methods that make it easier to monitor SEO metrics when you’re managing multiple domains? I’m open to both free and paid solutions.
Switched from spreadsheets to Ahrefs two years back when I hit eight client sites. The multi-project dashboard saved my sanity - you can set up separate projects for each domain and see rankings, traffic, and backlinks all in one place. Keyword tracking keeps everything organized without mixing up different sites, which was driving me crazy before. Yeah, it costs money, but I’m saving hours every week. Data’s way more accurate than cobbling together free tools. If you’re on a tight budget, check out SEMrush’s cheaper plans first - similar multi-domain features for less cash.
Been dealing with this same headache for three years across twelve sites. Started using Google Data Studio - it’s free and pulls straight from Analytics and Search Console. Takes time to set up initially, but once your dashboards are configured, everything updates automatically. No more manual copying or screwing up data entry. You can make separate dashboards for each site or throw everything into one master view. Templates are solid and you can customize without being a data viz expert. Only downside is it’s slow with massive datasets, but it beats spreadsheet hell any day.
