Common Patterns
- Performance monitoring: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERY with dimensions: ["date"] over a date range to track daily search performance trends.
- Top queries report: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERY with dimensions: ["query"] to find the most clicked search terms.
- Page-level analysis: Use
dimensions: ["page"] to identify top-performing pages, then dimensions: ["query", "page"] to see which queries drive traffic to each page.
- Indexing audit: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_INSPECT_URL to check the indexing status of important pages.
- Sitemap management: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_LIST_SITEMAPS to verify submitted sitemaps, then GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SUBMIT_SITEMAP to submit new or updated ones.
- Country/device breakdown: Use
dimensions: ["country", "device"] to understand geographic and device-type distribution of search traffic.
- Filter for specific queries: Use
dimension_filter_groups with contains or includingRegex operators to focus on specific keyword groups.
Known Pitfalls
- Site URL format matters: URL-prefix properties use the full URL with protocol and trailing slash (e.g.,
https://www.example.com/). Domain properties use the sc-domain: prefix (e.g., `sc-do
