Our Insights gives you up to the last 18 months of data as soon as they are available and grows daily. Using Insights, you can secure an understanding of exactly what your customers are doing in Google before they reach your website.

Tip: You can adjust the date range using the calendar in the top-left corner, and also change how the data is displayed (i.e. Daily, Weekly or Monthly view). Hovering over a specific day on the graph shows you data for that day, week or month (depending on how you're viewing the data).
