Connecting Search Console for keyword + click data
Why it matters, how to verify ownership, and what flows into the SEO dashboard.
What Search Console gives you
Google Search Console is the source of truth for how you appear in Google search, and connecting it feeds that data straight into your Avago SEO dashboard. Once it's linked you can see:
- The search queries people use to find you
- Impressions — how often you appeared
- Clicks — how often they came through
- Your average position for each query
This turns SEO from guesswork into something you can actually read. You learn which pages earn attention and which terms are worth writing more about.
Verifying ownership
Google needs to know the site is yours before it shares the data. Connecting from Avago runs an OAuth flow with the Google account that owns your Search Console property, which authorises Avago to read it. If you haven't yet added the property to Search Console:
- Make sure the site is published on your domain.
- Add the domain as a property in Search Console.
- Verify it — for a domain property this is a DNS TXT record, which you add the same way you added your other DNS records.
- Connect the account in Avago and pick the property.
What flows into the dashboard
After connection, Search Console data appears alongside Avago's own SEO and GEO signals, so everything sits in one place:
- Top queries, clicks, impressions and position over time
- The pages those queries land on
- Trends you can act on — a rising query is a prompt to expand that page
Search Console reports on Google search; your GEO score covers being cited by AI answer engines. Read them together for the full picture of how you're found.
