1. Automatic uploads

Setup of automatic uploads

In the Connectors & API section, select your preferred upload option (Upload exports after update or Override old exports), data types (Ranking, Visibility, Top Sites), and the projects for which you would like to upload the data for.

Frequency of automatic uploads

Once the automatic uploads are enabled, AWR data will be uploaded to your Drive following the next ranking update which takes place for each of the selected projects. Further uploads will be performed based on the ranking update frequency chosen for each project. For instance, for daily scheduled projects the uploads will be performed daily, while for weekly scheduled projects the data will be uploaded once a week.

Uploaded data can be accessed from the My Drive > Recent section or the My Drive > Advanced Web Ranking folder, which is automatically created on your Drive with the first upload. Within the Advanced Web Ranking folder, separate folders will be created for each project, containing files for Ranking, Visibility, and/or Top Sites data.

2. Manual uploads

If you prefer not to enable automatic uploads or need to update data on Drive between scheduled exports, you can use the Export menu available in most AWR UI reports. This feature allows you to manually upload the desired data to Drive in either PDF format or as Sheets.
