Connect Search Console to EnterraSEO

A crawl tells you what is wrong with a page. Search Console tells you whether Google agrees, and what people searched before they arrived. EnterraSEO can hold both, but only once you connect your own Google account, because the data belongs to you and lives in your properties.

This is the one part of the product that needs a second account, so it is also the part where people stop. It takes two minutes and one permission screen.

What you are connecting, and what it lets us read

Two separate connections, and either one can be made without the other.

Search Console gives the queries, impressions, clicks and average position for a property you control. Google Analytics gives sessions, engagement and the pages people actually read. The product uses Search Console for the SEO half and Analytics for the behaviour half, and it reads both through the read-only scope. It cannot change a property, edit a verification setting or delete anything.

Do it from the site, not from the account settings

Connections are per site rather than per account, because one customer may hold several properties and only want some of them joined. Open the site in EnterraSEO, then Search & Traffic, and use the two connect buttons at the top of that page.

The Connect Google Search Console dialog for a verified domain. A note explains that the Search Console property must grant at least read access and that the site owner can add the account in Google Search Console. A dropdown holds one property, sc-domain:enterrahost.com. A Connect button sits beneath it, with a line explaining that the access is stored securely, is used only to pull this domain's search and traffic data, and can be disconnected at any time. — The picker lists the properties the authorised account can see. One property, one choice.

The Search and Traffic screen for a connected domain. A heading reads Search and Traffic followed by the domain, with two status chips on the right, Search Console connected and Analytics connected, each with a Disconnect link. Four cards below show GA4 sessions at 126 with 41 active users, engagement rate at 59.5 percent, GSC clicks at 0 for 25 impressions over 28 days, and GSC average position at 19.6 with a 0 percent click through rate. A daily performance chart plots visitors, clicks, impressions and average position, and the period buttons read 28d, 90d, 180d and 365d. — Two connections, two chips. A chip that does not say connected is the first thing to check when the numbers look empty.

The property has to be one you own

The account you authorise must have access to the property, and the domain must match. A domain property, added in Search Console as example.com rather than https://example.com/, covers every subdomain and both protocols. A URL prefix property covers one spelling exactly. If the two disagree, the connection succeeds and the report stays empty, which reads as a broken product rather than a mismatched property.

If your site was verified in Search Console by a different Google account, either add your account to that property first, or connect with the account that already has it.

Google's account chooser, headed Choose an account, to continue to EnterraHost. The account rows are blurred. A Use another account option sits below them, and the footer offers Help, Privacy and Terms. — Which account you pick is which property you can see. The two are the same decision.

What to expect in the first day

Search Console data lags by two to three days, and Analytics fills in over the following hours. A fresh connection therefore shows nothing for the first day and a partial first week, which is Google's delay rather than ours. The chart's period buttons go back to 28, 90, 180 or 365 days, and the longest window is limited by your plan's history.

Disconnecting

Disconnect revokes the stored token immediately and removes the connection.

The Search and Traffic screen after connecting. A green chip reads Search Console connected beside a Disconnect link, while Analytics still shows not connected with its own Connect button. The four summary cards read zero sessions, no engagement rate, zero clicks from 25 impressions, and no average position, and the chart area says the daily history is building because the first sync has not filled it yet. — Connected, and still empty. The first day looks like this, which is why the delay is worth knowing about.

The crawl history stays, because it is our data about your site rather than Google's. If you cancel an EnterraSEO service, the connection is revoked as part of that cancellation, and the measurements stay in place so a later re-purchase can reattach them.

When it stays empty

Three causes, in the order worth checking.

The property is the wrong type. A URL prefix property for http:// will not report for the https:// site. Add the domain property.

The authorised account cannot see the property. Authorise again with the account that owns it, or grant that account access in Search Console.

Nothing has been published yet. A brand new site has no impressions to report, and an empty Search Console is the honest answer rather than a fault.
