Connecting Google Search Console
Connect your Google Search Console so the agent can run your SEO on your real data — clicks, impressions, CTR, and rankings. This is the first step to your free SEO report.
Why Connect GSC?
Google Search Console is the source of truth for how your site actually performs in search. When you connect it, the agent works from your real clicks, impressions, CTR, and position data — and reasons about it the way a senior operator would. It's also what makes your free SEO report a genuine audit of your own numbers rather than generic advice.
Without GSC, the agent can still help with general SEO direction. With GSC connected, every recommendation comes from your real data, not a blank prompt.
Step-by-Step Setup
You'll connect Google Search Console right after you sign in and add your site. You can also connect it later from your site settings.
- After adding your site, click Connect Google Search Console — or open your site and go to Settings
- You'll be redirected to Google's OAuth consent screen
- Sign in with the Google account that has access to your Search Console property
- Grant read-only access to your Search Console data
- You'll be redirected back with your property connected
- Click Sync Data to pull your latest search performance
The agent only requests read-only access to your Search Console data. It never modifies your site settings, submits URLs, or changes anything in your Google account.
What Data We Access
Once connected, the agent can query your GSC data across these dimensions and metrics:
| Category | Available Data |
|---|---|
| Metrics | Clicks, impressions, CTR (click-through rate), average position |
| Dimensions | Search queries, pages, countries, devices (desktop/mobile/tablet), dates |
| Query Types | Overview, top pages, page keywords, declining, growing, opportunities, trends, comparisons |
| Date Range | Any range — last 7 days, 28 days, 3 months, or custom |
Supported Property Types
The agent supports both URL-prefix properties (e.g., https://example.com) and domain properties (e.g., sc-domain:example.com). Domain properties give you the broadest data coverage since they include all subdomains and protocols.
Syncing Your Data
After connecting GSC, click Sync Data to pull your search analytics. The sync fetches queries, pages, and date-level data and stores it in your project. You can re-sync anytime to get fresh data.
Google Search Console data has a 2–3 day delay. The most recent complete data is typically from 3 days ago. The agent accounts for this automatically when analyzing trends.
Troubleshooting
I don't see my property after connecting. Make sure you're signing in with the same Google account that has access to the Search Console property. If you manage multiple Google accounts, check that you selected the right one during OAuth.
Sync shows zero queries. If your site is brand new or has very little traffic, GSC may not have enough data yet. The agent detects early-stage sites (under 100 impressions) and automatically switches to a foundational SEO playbook instead of data-driven analysis.
Data seems outdated. Re-sync your data to pull the latest. Remember that GSC has a 2–3 day lag, so you won't see yesterday's data.
