Google Search Console

Tracking your site's search performance shouldn't require manual exports or tab-switching between tools. Connect Google Search Console to Klipfolio and get your rankings, clicks, and impressions in one live dashboard.

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.

1. In the left navigation sidebar, click the 3-dot menu beside Data Sources and select + New data source.
2. On the Where is your data? page, select Google Search Console.
3. Choose a pre-built data source or click Create a custom Google Search Console data source for a tailored query.
4. Click Connect new account, sign in with your Google credentials, and click Allow Access to authorize Klipfolio. If you've connected before, select your existing connection from the drop-down and click Continue.
