# Google Search Console

Connect Google Search Console read-only to see the queries and pages people found you through, with clicks, impressions, click-through rate and position.

Google doesn't pass the search query along with a visit, so your analytics see **Google** as the source but not what was searched. Google Search Console has that: connect it and each website gets a **Search Console** page with the queries and pages people found you through, their **clicks**, **impressions**, **click-through rate** and **average position**.

**1. Open the website's Search Console page**

It's in the sidebar. Only the website's owner can connect it; the rest of the team reads it once it's on.

**2. Click Connect Google Search Console**

Sign in with the Google account that has the website in Search Console and allow **read-only** access.

**3. The property is picked for you**

A domain property (`sc-domain:example.com`) or a URL-prefix property for your domain is chosen by itself. If none matches exactly, you pick one from the account's list.

## How the data comes in

- The first sync brings the last 90 days; after that, new days come in every few hours, when the page is opened, or with **Sync now**.
- Search Console is daily and about two days behind. Periods shorter than a day (and yesterday) show the last 7 days instead.
- Average position is weighted by impressions, as Google weights it. Lower is better.
- Totals include queries Google keeps private for privacy, so they can be higher than the sum of the queries listed.
- The data is kept for as long as your plan keeps analytics.

## Your Google account

- SuprAnalytics only asks to **read** Search Console data. It can't change anything in your Google account.
- The access token is stored encrypted and never shown. **Disconnect** hands it back to Google and deletes the Search Console data kept for the website.
