Report connections: Search Console, Google Analytics 4, PageSpeed and site monitoring

A report shouldn't just say "what we did", but also "what changed". Set up the connections once, and clicks, visitors, speed and uptime appear in every report automatically.

In short

• Connecting Search Console and GA4 doesn't require a Google sign-in or password; you add the Heyşirket reporting email to the property with read permission.
• In Search Console the permission should be "Restricted", and in GA4 the role should be "Viewer"; these permissions can't change anything on the site.
• PageSpeed measurement, site monitoring and domain expiry need no setup; having the website address on the project is enough.
• After setting up a connection, verify it right away with "Test connection" on the project; the error message tells you what to do.
• You can add other indicators such as backlinks, social media or ads as a "Custom metric" and enter them manually each period.

Every month Atlas Dijital told its client "your organic traffic went up", but to show the figure it took screenshots from Search Console and pasted them into the report. Once the connections were set up, these figures started arriving in every report automatically, along with the change from the previous period.

Part 1 Search Console connection

Adding the reporting email to Search Console

1. Open the project

   Reports and requests › Projects and tasks › project › Report connections › Search Console. The screen shows the Heyşirket reporting email and a Copy button.

2. Add a user in Search Console

   At search.google.com/search-console, select the site, then from the bottom of the left menu choose Settings › Users and permissions › Add user.

3. Choose the "Restricted" permission

   Paste the email you copied, choose Restricted as the permission and add it.

4. Enter the property name

   For a domain property, sc-domain:example.com; for a URL-prefix property, the site's full address (https://www.example.com/). It must match the name shown in the property picker.

5. Test it

   Save and test connection. If the "Connected" badge appears, you're done.

Part 2 Google Analytics 4 connection

Adding the reporting email to GA4

1. Open Admin

   analytics.google.com › the gear icon in the bottom left (Admin).

2. Property access management

   Property access management in the "Property" column › the + in the top right › Add users.

3. Role: Viewer

   Paste the reporting email and choose Viewer as the role. You can untick the "Notify new users by email" box.

4. Enter the property ID

   The Property ID in the top right of the Admin › Property details page consists of digits only (e.g. 412345678). Enter it in the field on the project and test.

Part 3 No-setup sources and custom metrics

PageSpeed is measured separately for mobile and desktop in every report period; you can try it any time with Measure now (it takes 20–40 seconds). Site monitoring runs once an hour and, if it detects a problem, checks again 15 minutes later; the status of the last 30 days appears on the project as a coloured strip.

For any indicator without a connection, add a Custom metric on the project: backlink count, Instagram followers, ad spend, form submissions… You enter the value manually each period; the report calculates the change from the previous period automatically.
