Turn Search Console data into anima
Firstplace.run is a web application that converts Google Search Console data into animated bar chart races. The tool allows users to visualize how their top search queries, pages, countries, or devices compete for performance over a selected time period. It is designed for SEO professionals who want to create shareable, time-lapse visualizations of their website’s search traffic data. The application connects directly to a user’s Google Search Console account. After selecting a verified property, a date range, and a metric (such as clicks or impressions), the tool generates an animated bar chart race. Users can switch between dimensions including queries, pages, countries, and devices. The visualization includes a timeline feature that highlights sudden spikes or drops, enabling users to identify anomalies and jump to specific months for further analysis. Users can download a screenshot of any frame or export the full race as a video file. Key functionality includes unlimited race creation, support for every Search Console property and dimension, and the ability to export and share the resulting animations. The service operates on a one-time payment model: a single fee of nine US dollars grants lifetime access with no subscription tiers or recurring fees. The tool does not require any additional software installation and runs entirely in the browser after connecting a Google Search Console account. Typical use cases involve SEO professionals monitoring the competitive performance of their top search terms, tracking page-level trends, or comparing country-based traffic patterns over months or years. The workflow begins with adding a website to the application, authorizing Google Search Console access, selecting the desired parameters, and then viewing or exporting the resulting animated race. The application is hosted at firstplace.run and is maintained as a standalone tool without monthly billing.
