What is Google Search Console?
Google Search Console is a free Google tool that lets website owners and marketers monitor their site's presence in Google search results, track top queries, and identify technical issues.
Key data you can track includes:
Top search queries: The keywords driving traffic to your site
Clicks, Impressions, and Click-Through Rate (CTR): Performance metrics for every query and page
Internal and external links: How your site is connected and referenced
Crawl and indexing status: Whether Google can access and index your content
Google Search Console vs. Google Analytics: What's the difference?
Both tools provide website data, but they answer different questions.
| Google Search Console | Google Analytics |
|---|---|
| How does my site appear in search? | Who visits my site and what do they do? |
| Impressions, CTR, average position | Sessions, bounce rate, conversions |
| Pre-click search behaviour | Post-click on-site behaviour |
| Organic search only | All traffic channels |
How to use Google Search Console with Google Analytics
Connecting both accounts lets you combine pre-click search data with on-site behaviour. You can identify which queries drive the most engaged visitors, spot content that ranks but doesn't convert, and track performance improvements over time. Here's an example of what you can create.
How to connect Google Search Console to Klipfolio
Klipfolio connects to Google Search Console via OAuth. The setup takes about four steps.
- In the left navigation sidebar, click the 3-dot menu beside Data Sources and select + New data source.
- On the Where is your data? page, select Google Search Console.
- Choose a pre-built data source or click Create a custom Google Search Console data source for a tailored query.
