What’s the Best Way to Gather SEO Data for Your Website? or How Do You Efficiently Gather SEO Data Wi

Overkill is right. You don’t need 50 metrics—just the ones that matter.

For me, it’s:
- Rankings (Ahrefs free rank checker)
- Clicks/impressions (GSC)
- Backlinks (Moz Link Explorer)

That’s it. Everything else is noise unless you’re doing deep audits.

For multiple sites, maybe try AgencyAnalytics? Lets you track everything in one spot.

And yeah, spreadsheets are clunky but flexible. Pivot tables are your friend.
