How many notifications can QueryWatch send per site?

At most one per property per day. If several things move on the same property, they are not sent as separate pushes.

How often does QueryWatch check for changes?

The developer's relay server in Germany computes alerts every six hours.

Can I change when an alert fires?

Yes. The default rule fires at a 30 percent change or two standard deviations, and both values are adjustable per property.

No. Push alerts are part of QueryWatch Pro, which costs $4.99 a month or $14.99 a year. The free tier shows every property without an alert feature.

Will a Search Console alert app send too many notifications?

How often QueryWatch can notify you: one push per property per day at most, checks every six hours, adjustable thresholds, and evidence saved with each alert.

An alert app is only useful if you keep notifications switched on, so frequency matters. QueryWatch sends at most one push notification per property per day, checks every six hours, and fires only when the latest complete day moves by 30 percent or two standard deviations against the same weekday over the previous four weeks. Both limits can be adjusted per property.

What decides whether an alert fires?

Setting	How QueryWatch handles it
Comparison	Latest complete day against the same weekday over the previous four weeks
Default trigger	A 30 percent change or two standard deviations
Adjustable	Yes, per property
Check frequency	Every six hours, on the developer’s relay server in Germany
Daily cap	At most one notification per property per day
Evidence	Each alert stores a snapshot of what it saw

Comparing a Sunday with other Sundays is deliberate: weekly rhythm is the most common reason a daily number looks like a drop when it is not. The longer reasoning is in anatomy of a traffic alert.

Which events can send a push?

Pro alerts cover traffic drops and spikes, a new query entering the top 10, watched-URL indexing changes and sitemap errors. All of them share the same daily cap per property, so a busy day on one site produces one notification rather than a stack of them.

What if I manage many sites?

The cap applies per property, not per account. Someone watching 20 client sites can receive up to one push for each of them in a day, and only for the sites whose numbers moved. If that is still too many, raise the thresholds on the quieter properties. For that workflow, see managing client properties.

How do I judge an alert once it arrives?

Open it and read the saved evidence rather than the headline number. The app can then break the change down into its top contributing pages and queries. If the cause is a Google update rather than your site, did a core update hit my site walks through the check.

What does it cost?

Alerts are a Pro feature at $4.99 a month or $14.99 a year, and the price never depends on how many sites you watch. The free tier lists every property with real data, so you can judge the data before deciding. Details are on the alerts page. QueryWatch is independent and not affiliated with Google.
