# Google Search Console connection guide

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

<meta charset="utf-8">

You can connect to data sources from the [Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management). On the Hub, you can also [share an authentication link](https://docs.supermetrics.com/v1/docs/how-to-connect-to-data-sources-from-supermetrics-hub#share-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](/docs/google-search-console-connection-guide#connection-instructions).

## Required permissions

You need a Google Search Console account with **Verified Owner** or**Delegated Owner** access. [Verify your site ownership](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080) 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 Data 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](/v1/docs/google-search-console-report-building-guide) to learn more about the available query types.

## Connection instructions

When connecting to Google Search Console, you need to log in to Google and select the accounts to use when prompted.

1. Select the Google Search Console data source [on the Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/token-management) or in the data destination.
2. If prompted, choose to make this connection [shared or private](https://docs.supermetrics.com/docs/about-shared-and-private-connections).
3. Click **Sign in with Google**.
4. Sign in with the Google Account you use with this data source. This doesn't have to be the same as the Google Account you use with Supermetrics.
5. Click **Allow**, and click **Continue**.
6. Select all access scopes and click **Allow**. Failure to select all may result in the data source not functioning correctly.
7. In your data destination, select the accounts to pull data from.
