Oh, well that's not really a problem - you just use a browser that you never use to log into anything and therefore uncustomised, and set it to clear history. I use IE as my plain-vanilla browser. And anyway, for SEO I prefer to use enquiries and traffic as my main metric, there's no messing about with 'I can't see what you can see' in that situation,if people are actually making phonecalls and sending emails you can be pretty sure they are real...
But I still have several different hats - a dog rescue hat, an SEO hat, an archaeological-interests hat, an acting-on-behalf-of-a-widget-manufacturer, acting-on-behalf-of-a-specialist-travel-agent, etc etc. and they don't always play nicely together.
Although in theory Google provides my 'agency' login which provides for multiple work-related hats, that is somewhat limited in functionality. They assume that the people who pay the bills will have their own logins to the tools, but in my case, the person that my clients trust and expect to sort out any niggles is mostly me, they don't have in-house staff working on it. They don't know how the technology works and they don't want to (I do try to get them interested, but it's a steep and slippery slope!) So I tend to end up creating multiple IDs, because otherwise my poor clients are constantly forwarding me messages from Google with panicky 'What do I do about this???' requests for help. Or they delete them on the grounds that 'Bunn will sort it out' - which can be a pain if Bunn did not actually know that anything needed sorting...
