I don't get any data from my Google accounts (Search Console, Analytics, Google Ads)

Below are a couple of things to keep in mind upon connecting your Google Analytics account to the projects:

• Google Analytics is a project-specific setting: the account has to be connected and saved to each project file individually
• You have to have full admin rights for the account; read-only access would not be sufficient to gather the data to your project
• The Property and View that you choose upon connecting the account have to correspond to the project domain (including HTTP/HTTPS and www/non-www prefixes); otherwise, the app won't be able to gather any data
• If you've connected the account successfully, but later on you've changed the email/password, renamed Properties/Views, make sure to reconnect the account anew

How do I connect a GA account?

In any of the SEO PowerSuite apps, go to Preferences > Google Analytics.

1. Click to enter your Account Settings (you may also Create a Google Analytics account if you don't have one)

2. In the pop-up window, enter your Google Analytics account credentials
3. Click to Allow the app to view your data
4. Once your Google Analytics is connected, choose the Account, Property, and View in the dropdowns that correspond to the Project Domain (if there are multiple). Here, you can find the details on Google Analytics account structure

5. Remove or replace your account (or change the profile) at any time by clicking the Clear/Change button in the same menu

Where the data is taken from?

• Traffic stats displayed in the Domain Strength report in the Traffic to Website section are taken from the Google Analytics account connected to the given project, from under the Acquisition tab > All Traffic > Channels

* to update Traffic to Website you have to update Domain Strength directly in the module!

• Sessions (GA) in Rank Tracker stand for the number of sessions the website received over the last 30 days through each given keyword (no matter the page); the stats are gathered from the Acquisition tab > Campaigns > Organic Keywords
• Page Sessions (GA) stand for the number of organic sessions received by each ranking page over the last 30 days; the stats are gathered from Acquisition > All Traffic > Channels > by Landing Page
• Pageviews (GA) in WebsiteAuditor are parsed from the Behavior tab > Site Content > All Pages (Pageviews column), by URL, for the last 30-day period

If you face any difficulties upon connecting your Google Search Console account to a project, please check on the possible reasons below:

• You don't have sufficient rights for the account. Full admin rights are required; read-only access will not be sufficient to gather the data to your project
• The Website Property that you've chosen upon connecting the account doesn't fully correspond to the project domain (including HTTP/HTTPS and www/non-www prefixes)
• You may have connected the account earlier, but later on, changed the email/password, renamed or moved Website Property; make sure to reconnect the account anew

How do I connect a GSC account?

In any of the SEO PowerSuite apps, go to Preferences > Google Search Console.

1. Click to Connect your account (you may also Create a Google Search Console account if you don't have one)

2. In the pop-up window, enter your GSC account credentials
3. Click to Allow the app to view your data
4. Once your GSC is connected, choose the Website Property that fully-corresponds to the Project Domain (if there are multiple)

5. Remove or replace your account (or change the website property) at any time by clicking the Clear/Change button in the same menu

In any paid version by default, Rank Tracker will use our SEO/PPC Index (which doesn't require an account) to obtain SEO/PPC Data and keyword ideas.

If you prefer using your account still, there are a few things to do and to take into account to connect your personal Google Ads account to the project successfully:

• MCC (Manager) accounts are not supported in Rank Tracker; you can only connect a regular/personal one-profile Google Ads account
• Upon connecting the account, make sure to pass the verification step(s) shown by Google
• If you've connected the account successfully, but later on you've changed the email/password, make sure to reconnect the account anew
• Google Ads is a project-specific setting: the account has to be connected and saved to each project file individually

How do I connect a Google Ads account?

1. First, please go to your Google account Sign-in & Security Settings
2. Make sure to Allow Less Secure Apps (the setting is only available when 2-Step Verification is turned off):

3. If you're not willing to turn off 2-Step Verification, make sure to set it to a prompt (tap) or a verification code sent to your mobile device:

4. Next, in Rank Tracker, switch to using My Google Ads Account under Preferences > SEO/PPC Data. Click to Connect Google Ads (here you may also create a new account if you don't have one).

5. Enter your account credentials carefully and make sure to pass the verification step shown by Google:

6. Set your target Country and Language. Optionally, enable Forecast to get normalized data (exact figures) from a free/low-spending account instead of Search Volume ranges:

Make sure to save Preferences and the project file itself. Try checking SEO/PPC Data in your project anew.
