Google Search Console integration

The queries you already earn impressions for are the cleanest list of what your buyers ask. The Google Search Console integration brings them into WriteWorks so classic search demand and AI search visibility sit on the same rows.

What it is

What the Google Search Console integration is

The Search Console connection is read-only. WriteWorks reads the query, page, position, impression and click data your property already reports, and writes nothing back to Google.

It exists because AI visibility on its own is a score with no denominator. A prompt you are losing matters more when the equivalent query already sends you thousands of impressions, and matters less when nobody searches it. Search Console supplies that weighting.

What it does

What you can do with it

Four questions the two data sets answer together that neither answers alone.

Every query a page earns impressions for is matched against the prompts WriteWorks tracks across AI platforms, so you can see where you rank in one and vanish in the other.

How it works

How the Google Search Console integration works

About a minute to connect, and nothing to maintain afterwards.

1

Connect your Google account

Open Settings, then Integrations, and choose Google Search Console. Google asks you to sign in and approve read access. WriteWorks never sees your password, and access can be revoked from your Google account at any time.

2

Pick the property

Choose which verified property this brand should read from. Domain and URL-prefix properties both work, and each brand in WriteWorks connects its own.

3

WriteWorks joins queries to prompts

Your queries are matched against the prompts already tracked across AI platforms, and your pages against the URLs engines cite, so the two data sets line up page by page.

4

Work the gaps in order

High impressions with no citation rise to the top of Opportunities. Each one carries the query, the page and what an engine currently answers instead.

Who it is for

Who uses the Google Search Console integration

The same connection answers a different question depending on who is asking.

Keep the ranking data you already trust, and see for the first time which of those rankings an answer engine is quietly reading past.

You bring your own account. The Google Search Console integration authenticates with your own account at Google Search Console, on your own plan and your own quota. WriteWorks reads the data that account already has access to, and nothing else. Disconnect at any time and the stored credential is deleted.

FAQ

Google Search Console integration FAQs

The questions teams ask before connecting it.

What does the Google Search Console integration do?+
It reads the query, page, position, impression and click data from your verified Search Console property and shows it next to the AI search visibility WriteWorks tracks, so you can see which queries you rank for and which of those an AI engine answers without citing you.
Does WriteWorks change anything in Search Console?+
No. The connection is read-only. WriteWorks does not submit sitemaps, request indexing, change settings or write anything to your property. It reads the data the property already reports.
Do I need my own Search Console property?+
Yes. The integration uses your own Google account and a property you have already verified. WriteWorks does not resell Search Console data or provide access to a property you do not own.
How do I connect Search Console to WriteWorks?+
Open Settings, then Integrations, and choose Google Search Console. Sign in with the Google account that has access, approve read access, then pick the property this brand should read from. It takes about a minute.
How far back does the data go?+
As far back as Search Console itself keeps it, which is sixteen months. WriteWorks reads the history available at the time you connect, then keeps it current from that point.
What happens if I disconnect it?+
The stored credential is deleted and WriteWorks stops reading from the property immediately. Reports keep the figures already collected and stop updating from that source.
