Google Search Analytics Report Data Missing; Google Working On A Fix

If you are missing data in the Google Search Console, you are not alone. Many are seeing Google skip over July 28, 2015 data in Search Analytics. Google’s Search Console, formerly Google Webmaster Tools, is having a data issue with their Search Analytics report. Data for July 28 is missing from the report, and there are widespread reports of the issue. Although not everyone is affected, I am able to replicate the issue across my account. If you scroll over the Search Analytics chart, you will see it skip from July 27 to July 29, completely missing July 28.
