Connect Google Search Console

Connect your Google Search Console account to see your search performance data in Koala SEO.

How It Works

Koala SEO uses Google's OAuth 2.0 flow to connect to your Search Console account. This means:

No passwords stored — Koala never sees your Google password
Read-only access — Koala can only read your data, never modify it
Revocable — You can disconnect at any time from your Google account settings

Connecting

Go to Settings → Connected Accounts in your Koala dashboard
Click Connect Google
Sign in with your Google account
Grant read-only permissions to your Search Console data
Select which properties you want to sync

Selecting Properties

After connecting, you'll see a list of all verified properties in your Search Console. You can:

Select all — Sync all properties
Select individual properties — Only sync specific sites

Each property will be added as a separate site in Koala SEO.

Data Refresh

Koala syncs your Search Console data:

On demand — Click "Refresh" on any site to pull fresh data
Automatic — Data refreshes periodically in the background

Manual refresh is available if you've made changes in Search Console and want to see them immediately.

Troubleshooting

"No properties found"

This means your Google account doesn't have any verified Search Console properties. You'll need to verify a site in Google Search Console first.

Connection error

If the Google connection fails:

Check that you're still signed into the correct Google account
Try disconnecting and reconnecting
Make sure your browser allows popups (the OAuth flow opens a new window)

Disconnecting

To remove the Google connection:

Go to Settings → Connected Accounts
Click Disconnect next to Google
Confirm the disconnection

This removes the OAuth connection but does not delete any data already synced to Koala. To clear synced data, go to individual sites and use the "Clear data" option.
