Common Patterns
- •Performance monitoring: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERYwithdimensions: ["date"]over a date range to track daily search performance trends. - •Top queries report: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SEARCH_ANALYTICS_QUERYwithdimensions: ["query"]to find the most clicked search terms. - •Page-level analysis: Use
dimensions: ["page"]to identify top-performing pages, thendimensions: ["query", "page"]to see which queries drive traffic to each page. - •Indexing audit: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_INSPECT_URLto check the indexing status of important pages. - •Sitemap management: Use
GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_LIST_SITEMAPSto verify submitted sitemaps, thenGOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_SUBMIT_SITEMAPto 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_groupswithcontainsorincludingRegexoperators 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 thesc-domain:prefix (e.g., `sc-do
