Google Search Console

Connect Google Search Console to see search queries, impressions, CTR, and position data alongside your Pulse analytics.

Connecting Search Console brings organic search data directly into Pulse so you can see what people search before landing on your site — without leaving the dashboard.

Connect Search Console

Go to Settings → Integrations → Google Search Console and click Connect. You will be redirected to Google's OAuth flow. Pulse requests only the webmasters.readonly scope — it can read your Search Console data but cannot modify anything. Grant access for the property that matches your site's domain.

OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Pulse syncs data automatically every 6 hours.

You must be a verified owner or full user of the Search Console property you want to connect. Restricted users do not have API access.

Search performance dashboard

Once connected, visit /sites/{id}/search to see the full search report.

Overview cards at the top show totals for the selected period with a delta against the prior equivalent period:

CardWhat it shows
ClicksTotal clicks from Google Search
ImpressionsTimes your pages appeared in results
CTRClick-through rate
Avg positionMean ranking position across all queries

A clicks and impressions trend chart sits below the cards.

Top queries

A table of the search queries driving traffic to your site:

ColumnDescription
QueryThe search term
ClicksClicks from this query
ImpressionsTimes it appeared in results
CTRClick-through rate
PositionAverage ranking position

Expand any query row to see which pages it lands on. Queries that are new in the selected period are marked with a New badge.

Top pages

The same breakdown inverted — pages first, expandable to show the queries driving traffic to each page.

Position tracker

A summary card showing your top 5 queries by click volume and their current average position.

Date presets and pagination

Use the date picker to switch between Today, Last 7 days, Last 28 days, Last 30 days, or a custom range. Tables are paginated at 50 rows per page.

Search Console data has a 2–3 day lag. Today's data will not reflect searches from earlier today.

Disconnect

Go to Settings → Integrations → Google Search Console and click Disconnect. This immediately revokes the OAuth token and permanently purges all Search Console data stored for your site. Your data in Google Search Console itself is unaffected.
