Start with [weekly and monthly views](/learn-google-search-console/weekly-monthly-views) when daily fluctuations make a trend hard to see. Follow the numbered screenshots to change the chart and compare the same report at two levels of detail.

Use [annotations](/learn-google-search-console/performance/custom-annotations) to record a site change before investigating its effect. For a specific reporting question, [AI-powered configuration](/learn-google-search-console/performance/ai-powered-configuration) can suggest settings for you to check.

When the question is about who finds you, inspect [branded queries](/learn-google-search-console/performance/branded-queries-filter). For visibility in AI features, read the [generative AI reports guide](/learn-google-search-console/performance/generative-ai-performance-reports).

If you publish on Instagram, TikTok, X, or YouTube, start by [adding a social account](/learn-google-search-console/social-platform-properties).

Google's [Performance report setup guide](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/7576553?hl=en) explains the available metrics and date controls.

If your question is about recent numbers changing or missing rows, use the [data limits guides](/learn-google-search-console/limits).
