How to connect Google Search Console to Orchly

To connect Google Search Console to Orchly, open Settings → Integrations, click Configure on Google Search Console, sign in with Google, and pick the site to sync. It takes about two minutes, and Orchly then pulls up to 16 months of clicks, impressions and keyword data.

Search Console is the source for your organic dashboard, indexing checks and rank data. Agents also use it to find pages losing clicks and queries sitting just off page one, which are often the same pages you want showing up in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT answers.

How do I connect Search Console?

You can connect from Settings → Integrations. If you’re setting up a new workspace, the first onboarding step also offers Connect Google Search Console.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations and click Configure on Google Search Console.
2. In the drawer, click Connect Google Search Console.
3. Google opens in the same tab. Choose the account that has access to your property and approve the permissions.
4. You land back in Orchly with a Finish connecting Search Console window. Open Select a site, pick your property, and click Finish setup.

If your account only has one site, Orchly picks it for you and tells you which one it chose.

Which property should I pick?

• If you have a domain property (like example.com), pick it. It covers every subdomain and protocol, so it has the most data.
• If you only have a URL-prefix property (like https://www.example.com/), pick that. Just know it only reports that exact prefix.

Orchly tracks one site per workspace.

What happens after I connect?

Orchly starts a backfill right away. The organic search dashboard shows Pulling your Search Console data while it fetches up to 16 months of history. Large sites can take a little longer, and you don’t need to keep the tab open.

After that, it syncs daily. Your Search Console data then powers:

• Organic Traffic: clicks, impressions, CTR, average position, keywords and pages.
• Indexing: which pages Google has indexed and why others aren’t. See check if a page is indexed by Google.
• Page 360: search data next to AI data for each URL. See Page 360.
• Agents: Search Console appears under Knows about in an agent’s tools, so you can ask things like “Which pages lost the most clicks this week?”

How do I change the site or disconnect?

Click Configure on Google Search Console to open its drawer.

• Change the site. Under Settings, pick a different one in the Site dropdown and click Save site. Orchly warns you first: “Changing the site later will enqueue a historical backfill and may replace metrics associated with this workspace.”
• Check the sync. The Details section shows Last synced.
• Disconnect. Click Disconnect at the top of the drawer, then confirm.

Troubleshooting

What you see	What to do
Action required badge and “Select a site to start syncing”	You signed in but never picked a site. Click Finish setup and choose one.
”No verified sites found on this Google account”	That Google account can’t see any properties. Reconnect with the account that owns the property, or get added in Search Console.
Connected, but the sync fails	Your access is Restricted or Associate. Ask an owner to give you Full User or Owner, then reconnect.
Data lower than expected	You picked a URL-prefix property. Switch to the domain property if you have one.
Dashboard empty or out of date	See why the organic dashboard shows no data.
