GSC Companion - how it works

The GSC Companion is one NiKKOS interface at /tools/seo. One email magic-link opens every mode - it isn't a junk drawer of separate tools with separate logins.

You paste what Search Console is showing you. The modes go and check the live URL, then hand back something a team can pick up on Monday morning.

• STORY (default) - a Performance export becomes a plain-English story, with tickets that launch the other modes.
• LOCRA - every loc in a sitemap checked against live HTTP, PASS or FAIL.
• VEXA - robots traps on URLs flagged as indexed though blocked.
• RAUM - Pages export reasons turned into a Do-this board.
• KNOT - canonical conflicts: self vs other, host and scheme clashes.
• GATE - go or no-go proof before you hit Request indexing.
• THINN - thin hubs, split into owner lanes.
• DRIFT - redirect chains into sitemap keep, replace or drop calls.
• ATLAS - robots.txt into the sitemap index and out to every child sitemap: the map of the whole site.
• CONTAIN - a batch of URLs you care about, checked live for status, noindex, redirects and canonical, with a ticket for every failure.

1. 01Sign in once with your email - a one-tap magic-link, no password.
2. 02You land in STORY, or pick a mode from the switcher.
3. 03Paste the export, the sitemap URL, or the list of URLs.
4. 04Hit Run and let the live checks come back.
5. 05Filter to what matters, then export a CSV or a ticket-shaped list.

• No Search Console OAuth and no account access - we never touch your property.
• No invented coverage or indexation proof. Declared is not indexed.
• Public HTTP plus what you paste. That's the whole data set.
• Every mode free to use after email sign-in.
• Zero client fingerprints in any example - synthetic or nikkos.io only.

The sibling notes: GA4 Companion - how it works for the behaviour side, and Tools hub - companions, not a junk drawer for how the two doors fit together.

When you know which mode you need, read its own note: LOCRA, VEXA, RAUM, KNOT, GATE, THINN, DRIFT and ATLAS each have one. So does STORY: how to use Google Search Console for SEO. If you have a Queries export, the Site CTR curve turns it into your own click-through rate by position.
