API Stitch
Example GSC Rank Tracker
Rank tracking / GSC dashboard · $29/mo
What it does
PLACEHOLDER: Pulls Google Search Console data and presents it as a cleaner ranking dashboard with historical trend charts and alerts.
What's actually happening under the hood
PLACEHOLDER — needs research pass: calls the Google Search Console API on a schedule, stores results in its own database, and layers a dashboard UI on top. No independent crawling or proprietary data source.
Verdict
API Stitch. PLACEHOLDER: real engineering (auth, scheduling, storage, UI) but no data moat — it's reformatting a Google API.
The DIY path
Stack: Next.js + Google Search Console API (OAuth) + a scheduled job (e.g. Vercel Cron) + Postgres for history + a charting library.
PLACEHOLDER: Build a Next.js app that authenticates with the Google Search Console API via OAuth, fetches daily search analytics for a chosen property, stores the results in Postgres, and renders a dashboard with ranking trend charts and week-over-week change alerts.
Rebuild cost vs. subscription cost
PLACEHOLDER: ~$0 in API costs + a weekend vs. $29/mo
