Your SEO screenshot can’t prove itself. SEO Receipts turns read-only Google Search Console data into a live public record with clicks, impressions, change, rankings, and freshness. No uploads, estimates, or write access. Compare sites on the leaderboard, share a receipt, install a badge, or start a traffic duel. Put your site on the record free.
Congrats on the launch, Michael — love how clean the core idea is. The access-vs-ownership piece is the tricky part: Google will hand back data for a site you were just added to, which isn't the same as owning it. How do you show that difference on the receipt, so someone can tell "verified traffic" from "verified traffic and verified owner"?
@saied_alimoradi Good catch. Right now I accept both `siteOwner` and `siteFullUser` because either role can read the Search Console metrics, but the receipt labels both as “Owner verified.”
That’s too broad.
I’m changing it to display the exact role Google returned: “Google verified owner” or “Search Console full user.”
Both roles can support verified traffic. Only the first supports a Google-verified ownership or control claim, and even that does not prove legal ownership of the domain or company.
Thanks for spotting this. It’s a real gap in the current label.
the owner-vs-user distinction you fixed with Saied is good, but there's a related gap that's harder to fix: "verified" here means "verified that this is really what Search Console shows," not "verified that this traffic is legitimate." someone running black-hat SEO, buying bot clicks, or gaming rankings short-term would still get a clean receipt, since GSC just reports what it sees regardless of how the traffic was earned. with public leaderboards and traffic duels specifically, that's an incentive to win the number rather than earn it honestly. is there any plan to flag anomalous patterns (sudden spikes, bot-like click distributions) or is the receipt strictly "this is what Google reported, judge the rest yourself"?
