Google Search Console
Connect Google Search Console to Umami Cloud to see the Google searches, clicks, impressions, and positions that bring visitors to your website.
Connect Google Search Console to a website to see which Google searches bring visitors to it. Umami shows your search queries, clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position next to the rest of your analytics.
Google Search Console is an integration and requires a Pro or Business plan. Umami reads search data from Google whenever you open the report. Nothing is copied or stored in Umami.
Before you begin#
Your website must be a verified property in Google Search Console. You will connect with the Google account that has access to that property.
Connect Google Search Console#
Log into Umami and click on the side nav profile button then click Settings.
Navigate to Integrations, click on the Add integration button, and choose Google Search Console.
Select the Website to show search data for. This can't be changed later. Click Continue with Google, choose your Google account, and grant Umami access to Search Console.
You will be returned to the Integrations page. If Umami can't choose a property for your website, click on the Edit button next to the integration and select the Search Console property that matches your website.
Viewing search data#
Navigate to a website and click the Searches tab.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Clicks | Number of clicks from Google search results to your website. |
| Impressions | Number of times your website appeared in Google search results. |
| CTR | Click-through rate, the percentage of impressions that resulted in a click. |
| Average position | Average position of your website in Google search results. |
Search data can be broken down by Queries, Pages, Countries, and Devices.

Troubleshooting#
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No properties are listed | The Google account you connected has no verified Search Console properties. Disconnect the integration and connect again with the Google account that has access to your website in Search Console. |

| The report asks you to reconnect | Google rejected the connection. Disconnect the integration and connect it again. |
Disconnect Google Search Console#
Navigate to Integrations and click on the Disconnect button next to the integration. Search data will no longer be shown for the website. To revoke access, remove Umami from your Google account's third-party access.
