You can talk about SEO, you can plan for SEO — or you can simply see what Google is actually doing with your shop right now. With the Google Search Console integration, you bring the real numbers straight into the Shopyai dashboard: which keywords bring you customers, where you rank on page 1, where you dropped three positions overnight. No projections, no guesswork — the data comes directly from Google.

Connected in 2 minutes

The setup is as simple as a login screen. Go to SEO → Google Search Console, click "Connect", and confirm the permission in your Google account — done. Shopyai only receives read-only access to Search Analytics data. Nothing else. No access to your mails, no Google Ads data, no other Google services.

Tip: If your shop isn't registered in Google Search Console yet, Shopyai shows you the domain verification steps right in the wizard. Works best with a custom domain.

What you see — the four core metrics

The GSC dashboard shows the four metrics that really count:

Impressions
How often your shop appeared in Google results
Clicks
How often people actually clicked
CTR
Click-through rate (clicks / impressions)
Position
Average position in Google

The numbers are visualized right in the dashboard with trend lines over the last 7, 28, and 90 days. At a glance you see whether you are growing or losing ground.

CTR (organic)
6.8%
Top 10 keywords
52%
Click growth (28 days)
+23%

Top keywords — which searches bring you customers

Not every click is worth the same. Shopyai shows your top 20 keywords sorted by clicks — including current position, impressions, and CTR. So you can spot things like: "The term handmade ceramic mug brings 40 clicks a day, but organic mug is at position 15 and could deliver much more with a little optimization." That data is the basis for every targeted SEO move.

  • Top 20 search terms with clicks, impressions, CTR, position
  • Top 20 landing pages with the same metrics
  • Previous-month comparison, automatic
  • Filter by time range (7 / 28 / 90 days)
  • One click: jump from a keyword to its corresponding shop product

Top pages — which products Google loves

Beyond keywords, Shopyai shows the best-performing pages of your shop: which product page gets the most impressions? Which category has the best CTR? Where are you losing position? With one click you jump from the GSC report straight to the affected product and can improve the title, description, or images.

Auto-sync — always current

Every night at 3 AM, Shopyai automatically pulls the latest data from Google Search Console via a scheduled background worker. The last 7 days are refetched each run (for the case where Google backfills data), and 90 days of history are retained. You don't trigger anything manually, nothing to export — in the morning the shop is fresh.

1
03:00 — worker starts
Token is refreshed, Search Console API is called
2
03:02 — data aggregated
Clicks, impressions, CTR, and position are stored per shop and per day
3
03:03 — anomaly check
Sudden drops or spikes are detected
4
Morning — you see the data
Dashboard is current, briefing highlights top anomalies
Tip: You can also trigger a sync manually — one click on "Refresh now" runs the worker instantly. Handy when you just made a change and want to see the effect.

AI-powered anomaly detection

Numbers alone don't help if no one looks at them. That's why the SEO anomaly detector runs alongside: as soon as clicks, position, or impressions drop unusually (or spike), the AI assistant reaches out proactively — with concrete data, likely causes, and suggestions for the next steps. Real-life examples:

  • "Your keyword leather jacket dropped from position 4 to 11 yesterday. Possible causes: new competitors, algorithm update, content change. Want me to run the content audit?"
  • "Impressions are up 45% on your summer dresses category page. Ride the wave — want to set up an email campaign for this category?"
  • "Your average CTR dropped to 2.1% (from 4.5%). That suggests less compelling titles or descriptions."

Security — tokens nobody sees

An OAuth token is the key to your data. Shopyai treats it accordingly:

  • Refresh tokens are stored AES-256-GCM encrypted in the database
  • The encryption key lives outside the DB — even a DB dump contains no usable tokens
  • The OAuth state is an HMAC-signed JWT — no CSRF possible
  • Shopyai requests only a read-only Search Analytics scope, nothing else
  • One click on "Disconnect" and the token is immediately revoked
  • A disconnect inside your Google account takes effect here instantly too

Integration with the SEO audit

The GSC data is not a feature island. It flows straight into Shopyai's automatic SEO audit and is correlated there with internal signals (meta tags, structured data, load time). That's how the system can say: "Your product page has high impressions but weak CTR — the meta description might be too generic." Or: "Pages with poor Core Web Vitals lose 15% more position in your shop than the average."

Which plans?

The Google Search Console integration is part of the SEO plugin suite for PRO and HERO plans. It's off by default and activated with one click from plugin settings. Then you connect your Google account and the first data flows in within a few hours.

The bottom line

No estimates, no exports — real Google data, fresh daily, encrypted at rest, and integrated right into your dashboard. The AI assistant reaches out the moment something unusual happens.

Conclusion

If you take your shop seriously, you need to know what's happening at Google. The Google Search Console integration makes that possible — without opening a second dashboard every morning. Everything lives where you already work: in the Shopyai dashboard. Two minutes to connect, and in return you get reliable numbers every day plus proactive warnings when something goes off the rails.

FAQ

Do I need a Google Cloud account?

No. The OAuth app is provided by Shopyai — you only need to connect the Google account that already has access to your Search Console property. No extra setup required.

What data does Shopyai actually see?

Only Search Analytics data for the property you selected during the OAuth consent. No emails, no Drive files, no other Google services. The permission is strictly read-only; Shopyai cannot change or delete anything.

What happens when I disconnect?

The refresh token is deleted immediately, auto-sync stops, historical data is kept for up to 90 days and is then anonymized automatically. You can reconnect anytime — history starts fresh from there.

Does it work for multiple shops?

Yes. Each shop connects to its own Google Search Console property. The data is stored per shop and never blended across shops — that's part of the multi-tenancy architecture.
