How can I connect my website’s Google Search Console to AccuRanker?

In tandem with Google Analytics, AccuRanker is able to provide additional data. This includes “Keywords Potential” and “Estimated Monthly Visitors” per keyword.

The steps below explain how to connect your Google Search Console with AccuRanker.

Step 1)

Go to the Overview section of the domain in question.

Step 2)

Important Note: When connecting your first Google account to AccuRanker, the system will automatically jump to Step 4.

New users following this guide should do the same.

If possible, we recommend importing all your keywords. This will ensure the most accurate representation of your online presence.

When importing selectively, sort by the various filters to see your most important keywords (e.g. search volume, traffic, SERP features), and import the keywords that are providing the URL with traffic.

Visitors and Potential

When both Google Analytics and Google Search Console are connected, you can enable the potential and estimated visitors column in the Table Settings, as illustrated in the screenshot below.
