Connect Google Search Console and make SEO visible

Requirements

For Search Console you need a Google account that has access to the relevant Search Console property. No API key, no developer access — the OAuth connection is ready in under a minute. That replaces the monthly job of piecing reports together from Search Console screenshots.

Connect and assign the site

MetricDash only reads — search queries and page performance — and writes or changes nothing in your Search Console.

1. 1Open the client and choose “Connect Search Console”.
2. 2Sign in with the Google account that has access to the property.
3. 3Select the matching site.
4. 4Assign it to the MetricDash client — with several websites, repeat this per client.

The numbers you get

Per client you see the search queries with clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, plus the performance of individual pages in Google Search. So you can tell which terms a client is found for and where content work pays off — and show concretely what the new blog post achieved.

Unlike the website analytics, organic search gets its own section in the automatic report emails. The monthly SEO report emerges as a by-product; alternatively you share a report link as a frozen snapshot, valid for 30 days.

Organic and paid in one view

Search Console sits right next to Google Ads, Meta Ads and GA4 — all in one view per client. You see paid and organic at a glance and do not have to build a dashboard or drag widgets together.

For your clients that means: the question “what do you actually do for SEO?” answers itself in the portal, with their own login, live and read-only, at any time.
