Google Search Console
Connect Google Search Console so Structura can show you how each post performs in Google Search. Unlike other channels, this connection never publishes anything — Structura only reads your search data, and asks Google for read-only access when you connect.
What you get
- Per-post performance — clicks, impressions, and average position for every published post, on the post’s Analytics tab in the customer portal and on the post’s page in wp-admin.
- The queries each post ranks for — the real searches people typed before finding your post, updated daily.
- Indexing status — whether Google has actually added a post to its index yet, so you know the difference between “not indexed yet” and “not ranking yet”.
- A weekly summary email with your site’s search results for the week.
Before you start
- Your site must be verified in Google Search Console. Search Console is Google’s free tool for site owners; verification proves to Google that you own the site. If you’ve never set it up, follow Google’s verification guide — it usually takes about five minutes.
- Know which Google account has access. If an agency or a colleague set up Search Console for you, connect with a Google account that has at least Restricted access to the site’s property. You can check who has access under Settings → Users and permissions in Search Console itself.
Connect
- In wp-admin, go to Structura → Channels (or open the Channels tab in the customer portal).
- Click the Google Search Console card.
- Click Connect Search Console. A Google sign-in window opens.
- Sign in with the Google account that has access to your site, then allow the read-only access Structura requests.
- Google sends you back to Structura. In most cases Structura finds the matching site automatically and simply asks you to confirm. If your account manages several sites, pick the right one from the list — the best match is pre-selected.
That’s it — Structura starts collecting your search data right away.
What happens next
- First numbers appear within a few hours of connecting. Google’s search data always runs about two days behind, so the freshest date you’ll see is from a couple of days ago — that’s normal and true of Search Console itself too.
- Freshly published posts take time. A brand-new post usually needs a few days before Google records its first impressions, and a few weeks to settle into its rankings. The post’s Analytics tab explains what’s happening while data is still collecting.
- Your search history stays available even if you later disconnect.
Common issues
- “No verified site found.” The Google account you signed in with doesn’t have a verified Search Console property for this site. Verify the site first (see Before you start), then click Check again. If your Search Console lives under a different Google account, disconnect and reconnect with that account.
- You picked the wrong Google account. Disconnect the connection and connect again — Google will let you choose an account during sign-in.
- The connection shows “Expired” or “Revoked”. Google stopped accepting the saved sign-in — this happens after a password change, or if you removed Structura from your Google account’s authorized apps. Click Configure on the connection, then Reconnect Google account, and sign in again. Your collected history is safe.
- A post shows no data but the site is connected. Check the post’s indexing status on its Analytics tab. If Google hasn’t indexed the post yet, it can’t earn search traffic — this is common for very new posts and usually resolves on its own.
