Connecting your Google Search Console account is the most powerful upgrade you can give your TrueRanker project. It bridges the gap between “External Tracking” (what we see) and “Internal Reality” (what Google sees).
Why connect it?
- 📊 Real Data: See actual Impressions and Clicks inside your dashboard.
- 🧠 Smarter Suggestions: Our AI uses your GSC data to calculate the Relevance Score of new keywords, helping you choose the best terms to track.
- 🕵️ Discover Opportunities: Find hidden keywords that are already driving traffic to your site.
3 Ways to Connect #
You can connect your account from multiple places within the app. You only need to do this once per project.
1. From the Rank Tracker (Easiest) #
When you open your project, you will see a “Connect with GSC” button right above your keyword table. Click it, log in with your Google account, and select the property that matches your project domain.
2. From the “Add Keywords” or “Suggestions” Tool #
If you are doing keyword research, you can connect GSC directly from the suggestion window.
- Pro Tip: Connecting here is highly recommended. Once connected, TrueRanker analyzes your GSC history to give you a Relevance Score (0-100) for every suggested keyword. This tells you exactly how likely you are to rank for that term based on your current authority.
3. From Project Settings #
You can always manage your connection from the settings menu:
- Go to Settings in the sidebar.
- Scroll down to “Connect to Google Search Console”.
- Click the button and select your property.

Option A: From TrueRanker (Recommended) Go to Project Settings > Google Search Console.
