Cannot connect to Google Search Console

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I have followed the advice of many postings, but have not figured out how to connect to Google Search Console.  Instead of seeing a popup to Connect when I go to Search Keywords, I see the attached message saying "No Data".

I suspect this is related to the message I get in the Analytics-> Traffic panel "Analytics is likely inaccurate due to disabled cookies.".  However, I seem to have cookies enabled. 

Thank you

It can take 72 hours to start getting data from Google Search, when did you connect it?

In addition, in Google Analytics, I see this message

"Data collection isn't active for your website. If you installed tags more than 48 hours ago, make sure they are set up correctly."

However, I followed these instructions over a week ago and clicked "Test" and it passed. And it still passes today. 

Kind regards,

Hmmm, it looks like you've done everything right, maybe try disconnecting and reconnecting google search console, or possibly try Squarespace Support:

Hi, the Search Keyword tab you are seeing is data from Google Search Console. If you scroll down on your Google Search Console, to the list of keywords, I suspect you will see that there are zero clicks from that list.

Even though your graph is showing 3 clicks, it doesn't mean that all clicks come from your search keywords.

If that is the case, then in Squarespace graph, there is no data to show. Because none of the 3 clicks come from a search keywords.

I would wait for more data, and when you are seeing clicks against the list of search keywords from Google Search Console, then check that they are showing on Squarespace.

Hope this helps.
