Connect Google Search Console

Search Console gives Ranksify your classic-search side: queries, pages, countries and devices, with clicks, impressions, CTR and average position. It also seeds prompt suggestions from the queries you already rank for.

Connect it

  1. Open LLM Analytics and expand Search & analytics connections on the Setup tab. The same cards live under Settings.
  2. Choose Google Search Console and sign in with Google. Ranksify requests one read-only scope, webmasters.readonly, and cannot change anything in your Search Console account.
  3. Pick the property. The picker lists your verified properties and pre-selects the one that matches your brand domain, flagging it with a match badge.
  4. Saving the property starts the first sync automatically.

Once connected, the card shows the connected property and the last sync time, with Sync now, Change site and Disconnect. Data lands in Traffic. A live connection imports a 90-day window.

Troubleshooting

The query table sums to less than the headline totals

This is correct, not a bug. Google prunes rare queries from the query breakdown to protect searcher privacy, so the per-query rows can never add up to the property-level figures. Ranksify takes its headline tiles from the property-level series and says so under the query table, rather than quietly showing a smaller number that looks broken.

The last day or two look empty

Search Console data lands roughly two days behind. A window that ends today will always have a thin tail. Compare like-for-like windows, and do not read the final couple of days as a drop.

Ranksify and the Search Console UI disagree

Three things account for almost all of it:

CauseWhat to do
Different date windowMatch the range explicitly. Search Console defaults and the Ranksify range chips are not the same window.
The two-day lagEnd both windows on the same day, at least two days back.
Anonymised-query pruningCompare property totals with property totals, never a summed breakdown with a property total.

The card says “Sample data (mock)”

The connection is running against generated sample data rather than your Google account. Disconnect and reconnect through the Google sign-in flow to switch it to live — a mock connection holds no real credentials, so it will never turn into a live one on its own.
