Internet DirectorGM
Share link

What to upload

Google Search Console Queries exports for your dealership website, comparing two 28-day periods. One website is enough.

Before you start
  1. Open your dealership's Google Search Console property → Performance → Search results. Use the same search type, country, and device filters for both periods.
  2. Turn on clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position. Compare the latest 28 complete, fully available days with the preceding 28 days. Note the actual dates and filters.
  3. Export the Queries data as a spreadsheet or CSV. Keep an untouched original; if you sort a working copy, sort whole rows. Repeat separately for each website you manage and label every property.
  4. Copy this prompt into your AI tool and attach the exports. If the files don't identify your website, brands, or market, add your website address in the chat.
