Sign in with Google and allow access
You're sent to Google. Choose the Google account that has access to your Search Console property, review the permissions and click Continue / Allow.

Pick the right property type. Search Console treats
http://,https://,https://www.andsc-domain:as separate properties. A Domain property (sc-domain:yourdomain.com) covers all of them and is the best choice if you have one.

Check that the card shows Active
Back on the Integrations page, the Search Console card now shows a green Active ✓ badge, the toggle is on, and the card reads Connected to: followed by the account you picked. Data starts appearing in your dashboard after the next sync.

Change or disconnect
Change the connected account
Click the gear icon next to the Search Console title. This reopens the site picker so you can choose a different Search Console property.
Disconnect
Turn the toggle off. A dialog asks Disconnect Google Search Console
and explains: Are you sure you want to disconnect Google Search Console? This will stop tracking and syncing data from this integration.
Click Disconnect to confirm. You'll see Account Disconnected
.
Disconnecting removes our access immediately. You can also revoke access from the Google Search Console side at any time.
Troubleshooting
These are the messages you might see in the dashboard, and what to do about each one.
I see “No Search Console sites found.”
The Google account you signed in with has no Search Console properties. Turn the toggle off, then connect again and choose the Google account that owns your site. Or ask the property owner to add that account as a user in Search Console under Settings → Users and permissions.
I see “Failed to load Search Console sites.”
Google didn't return the property list. Click the refresh icon (Refresh integration status
) at the top of the Integrations page, then click the gear icon on the card to try again.
My site shows “Unverified”
The property exists but hasn't been verified in Search Console. Verify it in Search Console first (DNS record is the most reliable method), then pick it again in Salient.
Data looks a few days behind
That's expected. Google Search Console data typically lags by 2–3 days, so the most recent days fill in later.
I see “Google Search Console Connection Failed!”
The property couldn't be saved. Try again from the gear icon. If it keeps failing, email us with the property name you selected.
