Google Search Console

The Google Search Console integration pulls in your website's data from Google Search Console to work with it directly inside ContentKing.

Metrics

ContentKing displays the following metrics from Google Search Console:

  • Clicks
  • Impressions
  • CTR
  • Position

Using the Google Search Console data

The Google Search Console data is available in the Pages screen:

As well as in the Page screen:

Data from Google Search Console

You can create segments based on Google Search Console data, but it's currently not possible to view historical data or to use segments containing Google Search Console data in Change Tracking.

The Google Search Console data is always aggregated for a lookback period of the past 90 days.

Setting up the Google Search Console integration

Setting up the Google Search Console integration is simple:

  1. Click on Account in the sidebar to get to the overview of websites.
  2. Click on the website you want to connect.
  3. Look for the Integrations sections and click Edit
  4. Click Connect and authenticate with Google Search Console

Error: website not found in Google Search Console account

It might happen that you run into an error while trying to connect your account to Google Analytics:

ContentKing Google Search Console integration error

There are two things that can cause this:

  1. You're indeed connecting the wrong Google Analytics account. In that case, simply click Connect again and authenticate the right account.
  2. The Google account connecting the integration doesn't have sufficient permissions to integrate the data to ContentKing. The user should have either Full user or Owner permissions for the properties in question to integrate them (more about the permissions can be found in the following Google support article (opens in a new tab)).
