I used to spend my mornings looking at several domains in GA4 and Search Console. When I look at the graphs I try to guess if they're trending up or down or if anything changed. Or I have to download the raw numbers and do statistical tests in Excel or Jupyter.
Ideally this would all run in the background and I would only get an alert when something significant happens.
That's why I built WebTrafficWatch.
I use it for all my domains now and I love it. It keeps track of metrics like clicks, impressions, site visitors, conversions, etc. and once a week emails me a report telling me if anything out of the ordinary happened.
But it not only gives me the nerdy details from linear regressions and statistical tests. It also explains these stats in plain English.
I'm super excited to finally let you all use WebTrafficWatch.
Let me know what you think!
Congrats on launching WebTrafficWatch! Automating the analysis and getting clear, plain-English insights sounds like a huge time saver. What’s the biggest impact you’ve seen since using it on your own domains?🤔
@lvyanghuang The biggest two impacts are having all data in one report and peace of mind that I'll read about it when something significant changes in the data. Have you tried out WebTrafficWatch already?

Getting on top of all the stats on all domains will be such a time saver! Congrats on the launch! @benfreu
This is great. Outliers are always a great opportunity to dig in and figure out what's going on. New review, mentioned in a podcast, recommended in a newsletter but also negative outliers like fewer traffic than usual because a ui change or a script that's accidentally broken in the website causes bounces that tank the search ranking.
In any of the above cases I want to find out sooner rather than later.
@__tosh Thanks Thomas! That's exactly why I built WebTrafficWatch. And I don't want to guess if something happened by staring at a graph. Instead I want to have stats that tell me if it's really an outlier and what the trend is.
Congrats on the launch! Do you have a roadmap for planned features? I want to see which channel is performing well/poor.
Report
Get the signal without the noise, this tool analyzes Google Analytics 4 and Search Console to generate weekly reports that flag the shifts you actually need to know. No more digging through dashboards. Just insights, delivered.
@vivek_sharma_25 Well put. We’re all about cutting through the noise and surfacing what actually matters.

I like how this keeps things clear without too much extra data. GA4 and GSC show a lot of numbers, but it’s hard to know what really matters. If WebTrafficWatch can explain changes in plain English and still show the stats, that’s super helpful. I do wonder how it tells the difference between normal things like holiday traffic and real problems like a sudden drop.
@megan_price1 You're highlighting the toughest problem in all of this. If you'd like to tell me more about your specific use case, email me at ben (at) webtrafficwatch.com - I'd love to hear more!
The way we'll solve this in the near future is more historic data and more user-provided context.

@benfreu @clemens wait you have more than one domain? :D

@clemens Thanks Clemens, it saves me a lot of time (and nerves) already every day.

Kudos @ making WebTrafficWatch available to us!

@benfreu love it
more time to build, and yet I see what's up when something is up
