Google Search Console Integration

MainWP Google Search Console Integration

Bring Search Console performance and sitemap health into your MainWP Dashboard, across every client site you manage.

When you are responsible for dozens (or hundreds) of WordPress sites, Search Console data is useful, but it is also easy to ignore because it lives somewhere else. The MainWP Google Search Console Add-on pulls your GSC data into MainWP so you can spot drops, check what is driving clicks, and keep an eye on sitemap indexing without logging into Google for every property.

Search performance you can review at a glance

Use the add-on to monitor the core GSC KPIs and the context around them, across all connected sites:

• Clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position
• Top queries and top pages
• Breakdowns by country, device, and search appearance
• Trend chart (daily, with week or month display options)

This is ideal for quick checks during maintenance, and for answering client questions like “what changed this month?” with real numbers instead of guesses.

Sitemap and indexing visibility, without extra tabs

Search traffic issues often connect back to indexing. The add-on includes sitemap-focused reporting so you can review:

• Submitted vs indexed counts per sitemap
• Status and last processed dates
• Errors, when reported by Google

Built for multi-site workflows

This integration is designed around how MainWP users work:

• A widget on the MainWP Operations page and on each individual Child Site Operations page
• Centralized property management, with per-site drill-down
• Auto assignment of properties based on the Child Site URL, with manual override when needed

Connection options that fit real agency setups

Sign in with Google (OAuth) is the fastest way to get connected. If you prefer a more self-managed setup, Service Account (JSON key upload) lets you connect using your own Google Cloud project credentials.

Client reporting support

If you use MainWP Pro Reports, you can include Google Search Console data in client reports using available tokens.

FAQ for MainWP Google Search Console Integration

What do I need to use the add-on?

Your sites must be verified in Google Search Console, and your MainWP Dashboard server needs PHP 8.1 or higher (required by Google libraries).

Does it submit sitemaps or verify sites in Search Console?

No. The add-on reads existing data from your account, it does not verify sites or submit sitemaps.

Can I include GSC data in client reports?

Yes. If you use MainWP Pro Reports, you can add Google Search Console data to your reports using the available Pro Reports tokens.

How does the Google sign-in work, and what data does MainWP store?

MainWP Bridge handles the Google authorization flow and token refresh. Your Dashboard stores encrypted authorization tokens and selected properties, plus cached reporting data to reduce repeated API requests.
