Follow the steps below to grant access to your Google Search Console account.
If you don't have an account, contact us.
These instructions explain how to connect your Google Search Console account to SmartBi.
We work in partnership with Fivetran to ensure that this source will be securely connected. Data transfer is always end-to-end encrypted and your credentials will remain invisible throughout the process.
If it is the first time that you connect a data source, the following screen appears:
Select "I get it! Let's get started"
1 - After choosing a dashboard compatible with Google Search Console, choose "I have access, let's go" if you are an account administrator. If not, contact the account administrator and then continue the source connection process.
2 - In the next screen, select "Authorize"
3- Choose the Google account that is associated with the account you want to see in your dashboard.
4 - Click "Authorise"
Important notes:
Under "Sync Mode", make sure "Sync Specific Sites" is selected.
If you have access to more than one account, it is very important to choose only one site. If you choose more than one, the data for each site selected will be transferred to the dashboard, which will make it impossible to determine which data corresponds to which account and will result in the creation of duplicates. This would therefore render the dashboard useless. If you want to follow more than one account, choose "Add account" from the top right drop-down menu in your account view.
5 - Select only 1 Site URL:
6 - Once the account has been selected, click on "SAVE & TEST" at the bottom of the page
7 - Fivetran will then test the connection to your account. The message "All connection tests passed!" will confirm that the connection has worked!
8 - Finally, a final screen will confirm that your source is pending and that your source and dashboard will be ready within 48 hours. You will then receive an email when your source and dashboard are ready!
