Search Console will not connect, or sends no data

Three failures that look identical

• That Google account has no sites in Search Console. We connected, but the account you picked has no verified properties. If you have more than one Google login, connect again with the one you verified the site under.
• No Search Console property for your site. The account has properties, but none is this site. A property for an old domain that redirects here does not carry over; verify this one.
• That account isn't verified on your site. Search Console lists your site for this account as an unverified user, and Google refuses data for a property you have not verified. Finish verification, or connect with the account that owns it.

Cancelling the Google screen saves nothing, and "We couldn't finish connecting" usually clears on a second try.

Connected, but nothing arrives

This is its own notice: "Search Console isn't sending us data". Almost always the Google account you connected with is not the one that owns the property. Reconnect with the account that verified the site. Everything else keeps working in the meantime; only the search-demand half is missing.

A URL-prefix property

A property like https://example.com/blog/ sees only pages under that prefix. Pages at the root read as earning nothing. A domain property sees everything.

One connection for the whole account

Search Console is one Google connection covering every site you track. Disconnecting it disconnects every site, and revokes our access at Google, so there is nothing to clean up on your side.

What Google asks you to approve

The connection is verified with Google and asks for view-only access to Search Console, nothing else. You can revoke it from your Google account at any time, and disconnecting here revokes it for you.
