How to archive GSC data beyond 16 months without BigQuery?
Posted by on October 25, 2025 at 1:30 pmI run a small website and want to preserve my GSC performance data beyond the 16-month limit. I’m not comfortable using BigQuery since it requires a billing setup.
Are there any ways to automate this data long-term?
Thanks in advance 🙂 -

J’ai récemment changé de plugin de suivi de trafic sur mon petit site wordpress et j’ai été confronté à cette question. Du coup j’ai trouvé la solution la plus basique qui soit: tu télécharge les données qui te semblent intéressantes à conserver et du construit un fichier Excel, ce qui te permet de les garder indéfiniment, de les manipuler a ta guise, et de ne dépendre d’aucun outil tiers qui peut a tout moment changer de tarif ou de règle…

You don’t need BigQuery at all. The easiest way to keep your GSC data long-term is with the Search Analytics for Sheets add-on. It connects GSC to Google Sheets, pulls data automatically (daily or weekly), and appends new rows — no billing setup, no code needed.
If you want a set-and-forget option, tools like SEOcrawl or SearchAnalytics.io also auto-archive GSC data for small sites.
Bottom line: just use the Sheets add-on. It’s free, quick to set up, and your data stays yours forever.

you can export gsc data as xls or csv. you can do it every quarter manually or you can automate it via n8n or using appscript in google sheets.
