GSC Vault is a Chrome extension that automatically backs up finalized Google Search Console data to your own Google Drive, preserving daily totals, query rows, and page rows as compressed files.
What is GSC Vault?
GSC Vault is a Chrome extension that reads finalized Search Console data with read-only access, fills missing dates, and writes compressed daily backups to files it creates in your Google Drive. The extension runs entirely under your Google account — no third-party servers store your archive. It is listed on the Chrome Web Store and has a companion website at biqn.dev/gsc-vault.
Key Features
- Drive-only archive files — Raw Search Console backup files are written to the GSC Vault folder in your Google Drive, not to a hosted GSC Vault database.
- Narrow, explained permissions — Search Console access is read-only; Drive access is limited to files the extension creates and manages.
- Scheduled multi-site backups — Choose enabled properties and a local daily time, then monitor recent batches, rows, failed dates, and each site's latest data.
- Validated totals analysis — The analysis page verifies the Drive totals file before replacing its local cache and shows trends or period comparisons.
- Day-by-day Drive archive — Backup finalized daily totals plus query and page rows into compressed files organized by property and week.
- Multi-property backup control — Add, pause, resume, or remove Search Console properties from scheduled backups without deleting existing Drive files.
Who should use GSC Vault?
- SEO professionals: Keep Search Console history beyond the 16-month rolling window by creating an ongoing Drive archive.
- Marketers managing multiple sites: Monitor several properties in one extension, with visible schedules, progress, and failure counts.
- Agencies: Ensure client Search Console data is preserved and inspectable, with files directly available in Google Drive.
- Solo site owners: Set up a daily automatic backup routine with just a few clicks, no technical setup.
What can you do with GSC Vault?
- Preserve finalized daily data: Fill missing dates and keep daily totals, query rows, and page rows in a structured Drive archive.
- Monitor several properties: See enabled sites, latest available GSC dates, last sync times, recent batch progress, and failures in one extension.
- Review totals trends: Compare clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position across 7-day, 28-day, 3-month, 12-month, or all-data ranges.
- Keep an inspectable archive: Open the generated Drive folder directly and retain existing backup files even when a property is removed from the schedule.
How does GSC Vault work?
Install the extension, authorize Google with Search Console read-only access and Drive file access. Choose properties during onboarding, then the extension creates the Drive folder, calculates missing dates, and runs daily backups. You set a local backup time and monitor batches from the extension's dashboard.
