Search Console connection

Connect Google Search Console to see the Google searches that bring people to your site, turn them into prompts and keywords to track, and get tasks for the searches a small push would move.

Google Search Console reports how your pages do in Google Search: the searches they show up for, clicks, impressions and position. Connected to Rank Prompt, those searches feed the rest of the app. It is free on every plan.

Connecting

Search Console uses the same Google connection as Google Analytics:

  1. Open Integrations > Measure & track and click Connect Google on the Google services card

  2. Grant the Search Console permission on Google's consent screen

  3. Pick your site in Choose Search Console site

Owners and editors can connect. If you skipped the permission, use Reconnect Google and grant it.

  • Search Console permission was not granted: reconnect and grant it

  • Google connection expired: click Reconnect Google
