Connect Google
Bring in visitors and search clicks as read-only sources for Acquisition.
The Google page links your Google account to the workspace, read-only. Google Analytics tells you who visits and where they came from. Search Console adds the clicks and impressions that search sends you, one channel among the ones that feed Acquisition. Connect either, or both.
Connect Search Console
Press Connect Search Console and grant access on Google's screen. Google shows no warning for this one.
Add Google Analytics
Optional. Press Connect Analytics. Google may show an unverified app notice until it finishes reviewing Surfil.
Choose what to read
Back on the page, pick the Google Analytics property and the Search Console site, then press Save and read 12 months. After that your numbers update every day on their own.
| Read from Google | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| Visitors and where they came from (Analytics) | Visitors and search in Metrics, and Acquisition in Diagnosis |
| Search clicks, impressions and average position (Search Console) | Visitors and search in Metrics, and Acquisition in Diagnosis |
Connected
Both choices are saved and the page shows the property, the site and the latest month read.
Needs attention
Either no property or site is chosen yet, or Google access was removed or expired. Use Reconnect to sign in again.
Only the workspace owner can connect Google. Disconnect Google revokes access and deletes what was read from it. Numbers you entered yourself stay.
Can I use Surfil without connecting Google?
Yes. Type your numbers on Metrics instead, or read visitors from your own product analytics.
Does Surfil change anything in my Google accounts?
No. The access is read-only.
No properties or sites are listed
The Google account you signed in with must own the property or the verified site. Reconnect with the right account.
