Google Search Console connection guide

Prev Next

This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Google Search Console data to Supermetrics.

You can connect to data sources from the Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub. On the Hub, you can also share an authentication link to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.

After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in all available destinations.

Required permissions

You need a Google Search Console account with Verified Owner or Delegated Owner access. Verify your site ownership first.

Query types

Query types define what sort of metrics and dimensions are available. You need to select one of the following query types in Looker Studio when pulling data:

  • Search analytics

  • Sitemaps

  • Crawl error samples

  • Crawl error stats

  • Search appearance analytics

Take a look at our Google Search Console report building guide to learn more about the available query types.
