SEO Free
Best for: For technical SEOs who want crawling, indexing, mobile usability, structured data and canonical issues from Google's URL Inspection API in one dashboard.
Overview
A free Data Studio dashboard I built to explore Google's URL Inspection API data: crawl and index status, errors, rich-result and canonical issues, page by page. Crawl the site with the URL Inspection API enabled in your crawler (the demo uses Screaming Frog), export to Google Sheets, and connect it. It was featured in Google's official Data Studio newsletter.
