When you need this
You are starting SEO or GEO work, or taking it back from an agency, and nobody can say where search visibility stands right now.
How the crew does it
Collect the domain and markets
Search Crew
Vega confirms your domain, the markets you sell into and the competitors you care about.
Pull search data
Search Crew
With Search Console connected, Vega reads real queries, clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position. Without it, the baseline uses the crawl and market research and says so.
