Google Search Console guide

← All guides

Connecting Google Search Console adds a Keyword tab to your dashboard, showing the real search queries, clicks, impressions and position driving traffic to your site.

Connecting

In SimpleStat, go to Settings > Search Console and click Connect Google Search Console. You'll be sent to Google to sign in and grant read-only access to Search Console, SimpleStat can only read your search performance data, it can't change any settings on your Search Console property.

After granting access, you'll see a list of the Search Console properties you administer, pick the one that matches this site. SimpleStat runs its first sync right away.

Keeping data up to date

SimpleStat pulls in the last 30 days of query data on connect, and stores it locally so your dashboard loads instantly instead of calling Google's API on every page view. After that, it syncs automatically once a day, so new keyword data keeps showing up without you having to do anything. If you want the latest numbers right away, go to Settings > Search Console and click Sync now.

Disconnecting

Disconnecting removes the connection and deletes the synced query data for this site. Your Search Console property itself isn't affected.
