Search Analytics update in Google Webmasters Tools? Where can we find search queries bringing traffic to website?
-
I just got up and see Search Analytic's being updated today totally. Their is no option to see old reports. As Search Analytics only share 999 keywords.
Whats next now?
How can a webmaster finds all search queries bringing traffic to his website?
Any paid or free tool?
Google Analytic's > Acquisition > Search engine optimization > search queries will this area helps?Whole question revolves around. Any good tool that will help you find all the queries bringing traffic to my website?

For what it is worth, I'm in the US and seeing the 999 limit on all my accounts and domains. So, I guess that means the clock is ticking and if you don't have that limit yet, then you better get downloading fast!

This is where moz is great - as anyone in the US who needs that data - now knows they have till midnight tonight to capture it.

Yes, I'm in US. That's why at the moment I'm like "What are you guys talking about?!"

Charles - google have killed off the old search queries on search analytics in WMT's.
I assume it is a midnight rollout - ticking over on 0001 am on 1 September in whatever country you are in.
ie in Australia it has gone. If you are in the US you probably still have it until midnight, so yours may not have changed. I was working on it - when it disappeared!

You are correct that the Search Analytics queries report does limit down to 999 queries. However, when you load the Acquisition -> Search Engine Optimization -> Queries report in Google Analytics, you may be able to see more than 999 terms. I just double checked in a dozen or so accounts and all reports in Google Analytics were plus 999, though that may or may not be changing based on Google's new updated to the Analytics report. Also, keep in mind though that there is a limit to how long the data would stick around - for clients I work with ongoing, I export the reports monthly just so I don't lose the limited data you do have.
As Charles said, though, this data about queries isn't always reliable and it is limited in what you can get out of this data. That said, if you are using it for a general idea of what terms people found you for and what pages were related to which term, it can be helpful. Certainly not as good as the pre-"not provided" days and you obviously can't rely on it to calculate ROI, but it at least gives you an idea of terms and a relative idea of performance.
As for other ways to get around not provided and find those queries, here are some articles with some good tips and tricks:

That literally happened 25 minutes ago, good pick up. You can not do on webmaster anymore. Google did say the transition was in August. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/new-search-analytics.html
On tools - none are accurate to the level of webmaster. You could try similarweb, ahrefs etc. but I would not recommend.
I suggest you still use WMT's - Though 1000 is the limit - you can partially get around it, on the actual keyword. If you go to queries and look for any keyword ie a keyword containing "travel" - your limit is still 1000. So the 1000'th word for travel would likely the 20,000 word for the website. Does that make sense, so it has to be done by keyword category now.
Hope that assists.

Hi.
Not sure what you're talking about, since my Search Console (GMT) is the same as last week.
To see queries there, go to Search Traffic -> Search Analytics.
And yes, the Google analytics does tell you the same data. However, this data on queries is very inaccurate. I'd never use it.
About tools - ahrefs has that. Under positions explorer -> organic keywords.

My website disappears off google!
So this might be kinda of a weird question... Every morning and night I check the ranking of a website that I am building.. The ranking has gone up a lot the last two months. It went from the fifth page to now the second page. I have a issue where some days I check Google my website is completely gone! I go through every page for my keyword and it's not there! After a couple of days of frustration I check again and all of a sudden it is there but now at a higher ranking... I went through the code to make sure there's a not a not follow code in the robots.txt page... Btw another weird thing is so then I look up my website on a google out of country like google.sg and I'm ranking first page like number 5 but again disappeared off google usa. Literally driving my crazy.. does anyone know why this could be? Btw the first time it disappeared I went into webmasters and sent a request because I thought I got penalized but they responded they could not find any spam and I was NOT penalized...

2 websites for 2 dealer locations or one website for both locations - Thoughts?
I'm trying to decide what would be the best option for my client. They are a car dealership group who own 2 dealerships about a half hour away from each other. The dealerships have the same name but are just located in different locations. One dealership is in a small city in competition with several other dealerships within the city. "Dealership name city name" The other dealership they own (Same dealership name) is located in a small town close to an even larger city. "Same dealership name small town name" My options are: 1. Creating 1 authoritative website optimized for all 3 locations. The 2 cities both dealerships are located in as well as the large city close to the small town. This option would be less time consuming, we would only have to earn links, citations & blog for one website. However we'd still need to have citations using both dealership addresses. So that's still double the work. This site would probably be more authoritative and we could have a page promoting each dealership & have shared vehicle inventory. We'd attach 2 Google+ pages using the different addresses & have both location addresses prominently in the footer of the site. 2. Create 2 separate websites for each dealership & target the surrounding towns/cities in their respective areas (even though both dealerships are only a half hour apart). This option is more time consuming as we'd have to earn double the amount of links. Work on citation building, blog for 2 websites etc. But we wouldn't be diluting our SEO by trying to rank for all 3 locations. We'd have a better chance if we focused on each locations separately on 2 sites. BUT the 2 sites would have less authority. What is everyone's thoughts? What would you recommend to be the best option. Money isn't an issue. Thanks so much for any help.

Google Places, NAP, multiple address with one phone number
How sensitive do you think the Google Places NAP algorithm is? If I have different Google Places pages for one client with multiple locations, but the same phone number for all locations with different addresses, will this hurt my Google Places ranking or organic webpage result?
