Before You Start
To avoid a failed connection or error when connecting Google Search Console to a Client, the person connecting must have Owner or Full permissions on the Google Search Console property.
Connect Google Search Console
Follow these steps to connect Google Search Console to a Client:
Step 1: Open the Client where you'd like to connect Google Search Console, then click the Data Sources tab at the top.
Step 2: Click the blue Connect Data Source button in the upper right corner of the page.
Step 3: Search for Google Search Console in the search bar at the top, then click the Google Search Console card.
Step 4: Click the gray Plus (+) sign at the bottom to launch the authorization window, then follow the prompts in the OAuth window to verify and finalize the connection.
Step 5: On the screen that says "Application Connection would like offline access," click Allow.
Step 6: On the next screen, select the radio button for the customer account you want to connect, then click Save to finalize the connection.
Once you've completed these steps, your Google Search Console connection is finalized. You can now start adding widgets to your dashboards and reports.
Common Causes of Integration Issues
Permissions Issues: Ensure the Google account used for the connection has full permissions (Owner or Full Access) for the GSC property. If multiple emails are associated with the property, use the one with the required permissions.
Stale Authorizations: Old or expired authorizations can cause integration issues, leading to errors or "Reconnect" notifications. Remove the integration, then reauthorize the connection.
Domain Mismatches: GSC treats different domain variants (e.g., https://example.com vs https://www.example.com) as separate properties. Ensure the selected property in AgencyAnalytics matches the one with data in GSC.
Google Search Console FAQ
Is the data real-time?
Google Search Console has a 2-6 day sync delay. If you notice no data for the same period, it is due to this limitation. Don't worry! The data will eventually sync.
If you continue to experience delays, ensure that the selected GSC property matches the domain variant with data. Additionally, verify that the integration is active and authorized correctly.
Why are my URLs Stat-Widget showing zero?
The URLs stat widget pulls its data from the Sitemaps section of the Google Search Console API; specifically the content type breakdown. Google Search Console only counts a URL if it fits into one of these predefined content type categories. If none of your site's URLs match those categories, GSC reports zero for that section, and the widget will show zero too.
Does the GSC integration have any keyword filtering limits?
When you filter a GSC widget with 21 or more keywords, we may hit a limit.
