Connect Google Search Console

Every tool in the Optimization group runs on your Google Search Console data — real queries, impressions, clicks, and positions for your site. Connect GSC once per campaign and the whole suite lights up.

Connect your property

The connection lives in the campaign header, next to your domain. A connected campaign shows its GSC property with a Connected badge (e.g. sc-domain:yourdomain.com). To connect, open the property dropdown in the campaign header and grant StoryMint access to the Search Console property that matches your campaign’s domain.

You’ll need to be an owner or verified user of the property in Google Search Console itself.

What the connection unlocks

• The eight Optimization tools — from CTR fixes to content consolidation
• The Search Clicks (28d) metric and the GSC-powered lanes of your campaign’s daily briefing (Worth pushing, New opportunities, At risk)
• AI Mode — finding real queries where you could win AI answers

Scan capacity

Each analysis reads your GSC data up to your plan’s GSC Analysis Capacity — the maximum rows analyzed per scan (for example, 10,000 rows on the Agency plan). The capacity banner at the top of each Optimization tool shows yours. Larger sites benefit from higher tiers: more rows per scan means the analysis sees more of your long tail.

Data looks empty?

GSC data follows the property, not the URL. If tools show nothing, check that the connected property matches the campaign domain exactly (domain property vs. URL-prefix property matters) and that the property actually has data in Search Console.
