Available Integrations

We currently support three Google services, with more coming soon:

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

Link your Google Analytics account to see how visitors use your website.

What access you're granting:

View your website analytics (visitors, page views, traffic sources)
See your Google account email address

What we do with this: We only look at your analytics data—we never change anything. Specifically:

Understand your visitors: See how many people visit, what pages they view, and where they come from
Track growth: Monitor trends to see if your website traffic is increasing
Identify opportunities: Find your most popular pages and traffic sources
Your Google Analytics settings stay exactly as you set them—we can't modify anything

How to connect:

Find the Google Analytics 4 card and click "Connect"
A window will show you exactly what permissions you're granting—review these carefully
Click "Continue with Google"
Google will ask you to sign in (if not already) and approve the connection
Choose which property you want to track from the list
Select the specific website (data stream) to monitor
Done! You'll see "Connected" on the card

The system will automatically suggest the property that matches your website URL to make setup easier.

What you'll see once connected:

The name of your connected Google Analytics property
Which website is being tracked
The Google account email that's connected

Google Search Console

Link your Search Console to understand how your website appears in Google search results.

What access you're granting:

What we do with this: We only read your search data—we never make changes. Specifically:

See search performance: View how often your site appears in Google and how many people click through
Understand keywords: Learn which search terms bring people to your website
Track rankings: Monitor where your pages rank in search results
Identify opportunities: Find pages that could perform better
Your Search Console settings remain untouched—we have no ability to change anything

Key Features

Automatic Matching

When you connect Google Analytics or Search Console, the system tries to find the right property for you:

Google Analytics: Looks for properties that match your website
Search Console: Finds sites that match your organization's domain

How it works:

First, it looks for an exact match with your website address
If no exact match is found, it looks for similar domains
If it can't find a match, you'll see a notice and can select manually

This saves you time by pre-selecting the correct property in most cases.

Separate Connections for Each Organization

If you manage multiple organizations, each one has its own separate connections. When you switch between organizations, you'll only see the connections for the one you're currently viewing.

Connection Status Indicators

Each service shows its current state with a colored badge:

Connected (Green) - Everything is working normally
Pending (Gray) - Connection is being set up
Expired (Yellow) - You need to reconnect (this happens when Google access expires)
Not Connected (Light Gray) - Service hasn't been connected yet

All connections use Google's secure sign-in process:

Click the "Connect" button
Review what access you're granting
A new window opens where you sign in to Google
Approve the connection request
The window closes and you're back to the connections page

Automatic Refresh

The page keeps itself up to date:

Updates immediately when you connect or disconnect a service
Checks for updates again after half a second
Refreshes automatically every 30 seconds while you're on the page

You don't need to manually refresh to see changes.

Choosing Your Analytics Property or Website

For Google Analytics and Search Console, after connecting you'll need to choose which property or website to track:

A window appears showing your available options
The system highlights its recommended choice (if found)
Click on your preferred option to select it
Click "Save"
The connection is complete and the page refreshes

Managing Your Connections

Connecting a Service

Find the service card (Google Analytics, Search Console, or Google Contacts)
Click the "Connect" button
Review the permissions carefully in the window that appears—this tells you exactly what access you're giving
Click "Continue with Google"
Sign in to your Google account in the new window (if you're not already signed in)
Approve the connection
If prompted, choose which property or website to track
Done! The service will show as "Connected"

Changing Settings

For Google Analytics and Search Console, you can change which property or website is being tracked:

Click the gear/settings button on the service card
A window appears showing all your available options
Click on a different property or website
Click "Save"
The page updates automatically with your new selection

Disconnecting a Service

Click the red X button on the service card
Confirm that you want to disconnect
The connection is removed immediately from your organization
Your Google account access is also revoked
The page updates automatically

Important: When you disconnect, all access is removed. If you want to use the service again later, you'll need to reconnect and set it up again.

Common Questions

Why isn't my property automatically selected?

If the system doesn't automatically choose your property or website:

Check that your organization's website address is correct in your settings
Make sure your Google Analytics or Search Console property matches this website
You can always select it manually from the list

Why does it say "Expired"?

Google connections can expire over time for security. To fix this:

Click "Connect" again on the service
Go through the Google sign-in process
Your connection will be refreshed and working again

I don't see my changes

The page updates itself automatically, but if you don't see something:

Wait a few seconds—it might be updating
Click the refresh button at the top of the page
If still not showing, try refreshing your browser

Can I use different Google accounts for each service?

Yes! Each service can be connected with a different Google account. This is useful if your analytics, search console, and contacts are under different accounts.

What happens to my data if I disconnect?

When you disconnect:

We immediately stop accessing your Google data
Any data we've already collected stays in your organization
The connection is fully revoked in your Google account
You can reconnect anytime, and we'll start collecting fresh data

Privacy & Security

What You're Allowing

When you connect a service, you give specific, limited permissions:

Google Analytics: We can view your analytics data (visitors, page views, traffic)
Search Console: We can view your search performance (clicks, impressions, rankings)
Google Contacts: We can read and sync your contact information

What We Cannot Do

We never change your Google Analytics or Search Console settings
We don't modify your website or its configuration
We only access the specific Google service you connect—nothing else
We don't share your data with anyone outside your organization
We only ask for the minimum access needed to work

Read-Only Access

Google Analytics and Search Console connections are read-only:

✅ We can see your data and create reports
✅ We can show you insights and trends
❌ We cannot change your properties, sites, or any settings
❌ We cannot modify your tracking or configuration
❌ We cannot delete or change any of your historical data

This means your Google accounts and data stay safe—we can only look, never touch.

Your Control

Disconnect anytime: Remove access instantly by clicking the disconnect button
See what you're granting: Every connection shows you exactly what permissions you're giving
Per organization: Each organization has separate connections—they never mix
Secure storage: All connection information is encrypted and protected
