Sample report

Last 3 months (sample data) · 2026-07-10 to 2026-10-08

Clicks fell 43% from 29 Sept 2026
In the last 7 days you averaged 17 clicks a day, down from 30. Impressions went from 1,135 to 891 a day and the average position from 6.6 to 7.8. A sudden fall like this usually means a Google update or a competitor moving above you, or a change on your site. Check Google’s Search Status Dashboard for updates around that date, and whether your main pages, titles or robots settings changed.

Move “pdf to markdown” up from position 6.4
21,800 times people saw your site for this search, and 412 clicked. Results in the top 3 get most of the clicks. Make the page that ranks for it answer the search directly near the top, cover the related questions people ask, and link to it from your other pages.

When traffic fell, and why
Daily clicks with the start of a drop marked, and whether rankings, impressions or click rate moved. Unusual days are listed so you can match them to changes you made.
Searches you’re close to winning
Positions 4–20 with real impressions. The extra clicks are worked out from your own click rates at each position, so the estimate fits your site.
| Search | Position | Impressions | Clicks | Click rate | Possible extra clicks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| pdf to markdown | 6.4 | 21,800 | 412 | 1.89% | up to 1,114 |
| word to markdown | 4.2 | 4,100 | 140 | 3.41% | up to 270 |
| pdf to md | 5.3 | 2,900 | 52 | 1.79% | up to 238 |
| markdown to pdf | 9.8 | 15,100 | 96 | 0.64% | up to 263 |
| convert pdf to markdown | 7.1 | 9,400 | 188 | 2.00% | up to 185 |
Also in the report: titles that get fewer clicks than their position should, pages losing clicks with one-click checks, the topics Google connects with your site, page-two searches to build pages for, and a PDF you can share.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The report runs entirely in your browser, so it costs us nothing to run and there’s nothing to pay for. No sign-up either.
Is my Search Console data uploaded anywhere?
No. The zip is opened and analysed by your browser on your own computer. Nothing is sent to Hintmesh or stored, and the report disappears when you close the tab (save it as a PDF to keep it).
Which export do I need?
In Google Search Console, open Performance (Search results), pick the last 3 months, then Export → Download CSV, and drop the zip as it is. To also see what changed, export a second time with Compare ticked (for example, against the previous period) and drop both zips together. Search Console leaves the day-by-day data out of compare exports, so the first one is what lets the report spot drops.
My site is new and has very little data. Is it still useful?
Yes, with honest limits. With little data, estimates of extra clicks aren’t meaningful, so the report shows what Google already connects with your site, the searches you’re on page two for, and the steps that help new sites most, and says clearly how much the data supports.
Why don’t the searches add up to my total clicks?
Search Console hides rare and private searches and exports at most 1,000 rows, so the listed searches usually explain part of your clicks. The report tells you how much, and uses the daily totals for trends.
How are the “extra clicks” estimates worked out?
From your own click rates at each position when you have enough data, blended with typical click rates when you don’t. They’re upper bounds: what the extra impressions would bring at a better position. Google’s results page varies, so treat them as a guide to what to do first.
