What is Google Search Console?

Google Search Console is a valuable tool for enterprise companies to monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot their website's performance in Google Search results. It provides vital insights, such as search traffic data, indexing status, and website errors, which can help improve search engine rankings and drive more organic traffic to the site. By utilizing Google Search Console, large corporations can make data-driven decisions to optimize their online presence and improve overall SEO performance.

With Looker Data Studio, organizations can create interactive dashboards, perform in-depth data analysis, and share insights across teams.

Which Search Console report should feed your Looker Studio charts?

Two report types matter most for this pair. Analytics Wide is for numbers that match the Search Console screen. Page Analytics Full is for multi-dimensional breakdowns by date, query, country and device.

Item	Question it answers
Clicks	Which pages bring visitors?
Impressions	Where are we shown but not chosen?
CTR	Which titles deserve a rewrite?
Average position	Are rankings sliding?
Query	What do people type to find us?

The connection asks for permission to view and manage Search Console data for your verified sites. Improvado then loads the extracted rows into a database, and Looker Studio reads from there. Copy the data source template, reconnect it, and copy the dashboard template. The guide lists an SEO recipe, SEO Basic Performance Recipe, for this.

Totals will not always match the UI. A granular extract with date, query, page, country and device can count rows several times across combinations. For totals that match, use Analytics Wide with a single dimension such as page. For detail, use Page Analytics Full and read trends rather than absolute totals.

Search Console keeps sixteen months of history.
