Security and privacy basics

How to think about connected accounts, publishing approvals, secrets, and saved data.

SERPclimber is designed with security and privacy in mind, especially when handling your SEO data and publishing to your website.

Data Access

SERPclimber only requests the permissions necessary to perform its functions.

  • Google Search Console: We request read-only access to view your performance data and site structure.
  • CMS Integrations: We request write access to draft and publish content, but we only modify pages that are actively part of an experiment.

Publishing Approvals

By default, SERPclimber will never publish changes to your site without your explicit approval. You must manually review and publish drafts.

If you enable auto-publishing via Autopilot, you assume responsibility for the changes made to your site. We recommend starting with manual approvals until you are comfortable with the generated Drafts.

Secrets Management

API keys and integration credentials are encrypted at rest. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data.
