# Search Console

Ask Milo about Google Search clicks, impressions and queries with read-only access.

Connect Search Console to ask Milo how a site performs in Google Search. This connection provides reporting access to the properties available to the Google account you authorize.

## Authorize Search Console

Open **Connections** and choose **Search Console**. Complete its Google consent flow using an account with access to the property you want to analyze. This is an additional permission: signing in with Google or connecting Gmail does not automatically grant Search Console access.

The Search Console connection requests read-only access. Google's authorization requirements can restrict availability while an app's additional scopes are under review. If authorization is unavailable for your account, keep using Search Console directly and contact [support](https://joinhexagon.com/docs/troubleshooting.md); reconnecting Gmail is not a substitute.

## Ask a measurable question

> For the property https://example.com/, compare the last 28 complete days with the preceding 28. Show clicks, impressions and the queries with the largest changes. Include the reporting dates and distinguish missing data from zero.

Use your real property identifier in place of the example. A domain property and a URL-prefix property can cover different sets of URLs, so name the intended one.

## Reporting limits

This connection reads performance data. It does not grant sitemap submission or indexing-request authority. Search Console's reporting delay and property permissions still apply. A page being indexed, receiving impressions and being recommended by an assistant are different observations; ask for the evidence appropriate to your question.
