How Can I Share Analytics With My Customers With Just A Click?
Share Graphs, Stats and Keywords Directly From Google Search API With SEO Pulse
SEO Pulse was designed to showcase a few different skills, but primarily because I wanted a lightweight WordPress compatible plugin that allowed me to connect to the Google Search Console API and generate reports with visual graphs for my Digital Saints Solutions clients. While there are SEVERAL SEO plugins available from the WordPress library, SEO Pulse is not designed to enhance SEO, but to showcase it and share analytics through an easy to use interface that will generate the analysis in a graph available for your chosen export - email, svg, jpg, etc., which is a big asset for independent contractors working with companies that have specific brand or corporate requirments for SEO and advertising reimbursement.
Why Was SEO Pulse Built?
I created SEO Pulse because, quite frankly, for the amount of SEO Plugins on the market combined with large footprint of many impacting the user experience without the user knowing it, I wanted to create something that bridged the gap betwen my marketing and design customers and the reports that I would have otherwise compiled separate from their actual pages. SEO Pulse allows me to simply connect to a managed / hosted domain that has been identified via Search Console and generates analytics, graphs, and export file types associated with the selected domain that can then be sent to the client via email with a single click.
Setup is easy, requiring only 0Auth on the Google Search API. The plugin in currently in version 1.2.0 as of July 2026 and regularly used by others within my feedback loop for generating analytics when requested at the drop of a hat.
Is SEO Pulse Secure?
SEOPulse has nonce verification and input sanitation features that prevent data leaks and redteam attempts to utilize the APIs to gain access to digital properties connected to Google Search Console. SQL injection is blocked and the built user heiarchy allows for the plugin to be used at admin levels with capability gating or adjused for user permission heiarchies depending on the environment and usage case.
What Data Does SEO Pulse Analyze?
SEO Pulse audits site performance metrics based on the Google Search API, the caching strategy used to retain and deliver content, loading metrics for contentful paints, keyword and CTR metrics, and allows for period over period analysis based on the items selected for the recall.
What Reports Does SEO Pulse Generate?
SEOPulse creates reports as CSV streams, PDF, or can be set using the scheduler to automatically generate email reports via wp-mail (SMTP setup needed) or simple PNG exports for input on pitch decks, portfolios, etc.
