Pro & Enterprise — Google Search Console integration is available on Pro and Enterprise plans. See pricing or contact us to get started.

Overview

Use Google Search Console as a data source for Chartcastr. Connect your Google account, grant read-only Search Console access, and Chartcastr will pull SEO performance data to generate charts delivered automatically to your destinations. Chartcastr connects with read-only access — it can only view your search performance data, never modify your properties.

Setup

1

Grant Search Console access

In Chartcastr, go to Settings → Sources and find Google Search Console. Click Grant Access to approve the additional webmasters.readonly OAuth scope. This uses your existing Google sign-in — no API keys or service accounts needed.
2

Select a property

When creating a new source, choose which Search Console property (domain or URL prefix) you want to report on. All properties your Google account has access to will be listed.
3

Choose a metric

Pick one of the 7 available metric types. Each metric becomes its own source — you can add multiple metrics across different properties.
4

Create a connection

Go to ConnectionsNew Connection. Select your Search Console source, pick a destination (Slack, Teams, or email), and set the delivery frequency. Daily or weekly cadences work best for SEO data.

Search Console data has a 3-day processing delay from Google. Chartcastr automatically accounts for this — charts show the most recent 28 days of available data.

Permissions

Search Console properties have different permission levels that affect what data is available:
PermissionAccess Level
OwnerFull access to all data and settings

RestrictedCan view most data except some sensitive reports
UnverifiedLimited access — may not have full data
You can verify your permission level on the Search Console settings page in Chartcastr.

  • All accessible properties and your permission level for each
  • Which sources and connections are linked to each property
  • Whether any properties have become inaccessible (e.g., permissions were revoked)
