## Overview

Connecting **Google Search Console (GSC)** brings your organic search performance (clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position) alongside your AI visibility, so you can see both channels in one place.

**Difficulty:** ✅ Easy. Read-only Google OAuth, then pick your site.

<Note>
  This integration is **read-only**. Siftly only reads your Search Console reports.
</Note>

***

## Prerequisites

* A verified site in Google Search Console
* A Google user with access to that site

***

## Connecting

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start the connection">
    Go to **Settings → Integrations** and click **Connect** next to **Google Search Console**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize with Google">
    Sign in with the Google account that has access to your Search Console and approve read-only access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick your site">
    Choose the verified site to connect. You can only connect sites your account already owns or manages in Search Console.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What it powers

Once connected, GSC data appears on the [Traffic](/shopping/analytics/traffic) page:

* Organic clicks and impressions over time
* Click-through rate and average position
* Top queries and pages driving organic search

***

## Reconnecting and disconnecting

* **Reconnect**: If access expires, the GSC card shows a reconnect prompt; re-authorize with Google.
* **Disconnect**: Go to **Settings → Integrations → Google Search Console** and click **Disconnect** to remove stored credentials.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="No sites appear after authorizing">
    Your Google account must have access to a verified Search Console site. Verify the site in Search Console or have an admin grant you access, then reconnect.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data looks delayed">
    Search Console data is typically a couple of days behind. Recent days may be incomplete until Google finalizes them.
  </Accordion>
