Google Search Console Integration

How to connect Google Search Console

Connect Google Search Console per-website from its setup page — SearchVitals requests read-only access and only pulls index coverage and coverage-error data.

Google Search Console is connected per website, not once for your whole account — this lets you use a different Google account for each site if you need to.

  1. Open the website and go to its setup page (or click Connect from the website's Edit page).
  2. Click Sign in with Google and approve access in the Google consent screen. SearchVitals only ever requests read-only access — it can never modify your Search Console data.
  3. Choose the verified property that matches your website (Domain or URL-prefix type) and confirm.

Once connected, SearchVitals uses this to unlock two audit checks that are otherwise locked: Index Coverage Ratio and Search Console Issues — both found under the audit's Crawl & Index and Performance tabs.

Free plan note: connecting and verifying via Search Console is required before a Free-plan site can be audited at all — this is how we confirm you actually own the site. Paid plans can skip this and audit any site.
