Google Search Console

Updated

Turn on the Google Search Console module, then open SEO → Search Performance.

  1. Click Connect and sign in with the Google account that has access to your Search Console property. If the one-click connection isn’t available, choose Advanced: use my own Google Cloud project and enter your own client ID and secret.
  2. Choose your property.
  3. Data syncs once a day. Click Sync now for an immediate update.

What you get

  • Clicks, impressions, average CTR and average position over 7, 28 or 90 days, compared with the period before.
  • Top pages and top searches.
  • Losing traffic: pages whose clicks dropped noticeably.
  • Tracked keywords: follow the position of keywords you choose.
  • Sitemaps in Google: sitemap status, and submission if you allowed it when connecting.
  • In the editor: each page’s data and a URL Inspection button that shows how Google sees the page.

Disconnect removes access with Google. Optionally delete the stored Search Console data as well.

Privacy

The one-click connection passes sign-in tokens through WPInterface’s token service, which stores nothing. With your own Google Cloud project, the token service isn’t used. See Privacy and external services.
