Google Search Console is a free search tool that monitors your website presence in Google searches. Specifically, this tool measures keywords and search data to show businesses how they rank on specific keyword searches and how they’re generating web traffic. Google Search Console serves as a measuring stick for the marketing efforts of a business.

  • Add a Google Search Console account
To add a Google Search Console account to Clickx, first go to the “Integrations” section. You’ll have to create a new Google Analytics account first if you haven’t done so already. Login to your Clickx account and Google Analytics account in another browser page. On the Integrations page, click on the “Setup” button to setup your Google Search Console account with Clickx.

Now you will need to verify that you are an owner of the website. On the screen shown, go to the “Alternative Methods” tab. There are three methods to verify your Google Search Console profile. The preferred method to use is the Google Analytics method.

 

1. "Google Analytics" - Click on the "Google Analytics" option and hit the "Verify" button. You may need to copy your Tracking ID Code from your Google Analytics account to help verify the ownership. To do so, under "Property", click "Tracking Info" and then go to "Tracking Code" to copy it.

Make sure to save the changes and now in the Google Search Console setup page, hit the “Verify” button.
