Question 1

Is GSC Vault a replacement for Google Search Console?

Accepted Answer

No. It works alongside Google Search Console and focuses on keeping the history you would otherwise lose after the rolling retention window moves forward. You still use Search Console for the native reports and verification workflow. GSC Vault becomes the long-term archive layer when you need to compare, explain, and revisit older performance data.

Question 2

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

Your primary archive stays in local browser storage by default, so the working dataset remains under your control. If you want backup or continuity across devices, you can also connect your own Google Drive. That means the useful copy can live in infrastructure you already own instead of depending on a hosted backend from us. Exports are available when you want an extra copy for reporting or offline analysis.

Question 3

Do you store my data on your servers?

Accepted Answer

No. The core Search Console archive is not stored on our business servers. The product is designed around a local-first workflow, with optional sync to your own Google Drive rather than to our database. That matters if you want a backup habit that stays portable and under your control over time.

Question 4

What permissions does the extension need?

Accepted Answer

The extension needs read-only Google Search Console access so it can collect the data you choose to archive. It also uses browser storage for the local dataset, and Google Drive access only if you turn on backup or sync. Those permissions are tied to the product's core workflow rather than broad account management. If you only want local storage, you do not need to enable Drive sync.

Question 5

Can I use it for multiple sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The workflow is built for people who manage more than one property and need a steadier way to move between them. That includes consultants, agencies, and in-house teams handling several verified properties. The free tier starts small, and the paid tiers are structured around higher site capacity when your archive grows beyond a single property.

Question 6

Can I export my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can export CSV or ZIP backups when you need to report, audit, or keep an additional archive outside the extension. That makes it easier to move the data into spreadsheets, BI workflows, or your own storage system. Export is meant to keep the archive practical, not trapped inside one interface.

Question 7

Does it support background sync?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The product supports recurring background sync so your archive can keep accumulating without rebuilding the process every time you check the data. The exact reliability depends on browser auth and extension lifecycle constraints, but background sync is part of the intended day-to-day workflow. For users managing multiple properties, this is what turns the archive into something consistently useful instead of a manual task.
