# Google Search Console

> Connect Google Search Console so Spyro AI can show your real Google search performance - clicks, impressions, your best pages and queries, and quick wins you can act on.

![Google Search Console 1](https://mintcdn.com/spyro/xiAM51kOWdWVbVBs/images/Google-Search-Console-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xiAM51kOWdWVbVBs\&q=85\&s=fc36cb6f1dc216427677f1afee3445da)

When you connect **Google Search Console**, Spyro AI starts working from your *real* Google search data instead of guesses. You get to see exactly how people find you on Google - how many clicks and impressions you get, which pages and search terms bring them in, and where there are easy wins waiting for you.

It's a free Google tool, and connecting it takes about a minute.

## Why connect it

> **See your real numbers**
>
> Actual clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position - not estimates.

> **Know your best pages**
>
> See which pages and search queries are already bringing you traffic.

> **Spot easy wins**
>
> Find pages that are almost ranking, or that lots of people see but few click.

> **Watch your trend**
>
> Follow how your Google performance changes over the weeks and months.

## How to connect it

**1. Open Search Console**

In the sidebar, open **Search Console**, then click **Connect Google Search Console**.

**2. Sign in with Google**

Spyro AI sends you to Google's sign-in screen. Sign in with the Google account that owns your website, and approve the request. Spyro AI only *reads* your data - it can't change anything in your Google account.

**3. Pick your site**

Google shows the sites your account can access. Choose the one that matches the website you're working on, and confirm. Tip: if a site doesn't match your workspace, Spyro AI warns you - pick the one for the site you're tracking.

**4. Wait a minute for your data**

Spyro AI starts pulling in your performance. You'll see a short "import queued" message, then your numbers appear once they finish loading. Refresh after a minute or two.

## What to expect

Once connected, Search Console gives you a clear picture of your Google performance:

* **Your headline numbers** for the last 28 days - clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position.
* **Trend charts** so you can watch each number rise or fall over time.
* **Top pages and top queries** - the pages and search terms bringing you the most clicks right now.
* **Quick-win suggestions** that pair your search data with your latest [site audit](https://spyro.app/docs/product/audit.md), such as:
  * **Low click-through** - a page lots of people see but few click. Usually a better title or description fixes it.
  * **Almost ranking** - pages sitting just off page one. A little more content or a few internal links can push them up.
  * **Slipping pages** - pages that used to get more clicks and now need a refresh.

Each suggestion comes with a simple, step-by-step plan you can follow.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You can also connect **Google Analytics (GA4)** to see AI-driven referral traffic - visitors who reached your site from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and other AI engines.

## Tips

* Connect Search Console early - the sooner it's linked, the more history Spyro AI can show you.
* Choose the site that exactly matches your workspace so the suggestions line up with your pages.
* After you fix something, check back in Google Search Console to confirm the improvement - Spyro AI only reads your data, so you confirm the result there.
