Optimise your SEO with the google search console api and Incremys

Google Search Console API: understanding how it works and its benefits

What is the api and what is it for?

The GFC API enhances the capabilities of the Google Search Console, providing automated access to essential data on your website’s SEO performance. Designed for digital marketing professionals, it streamlines the extraction, analysis and integration of information into custom tools or 360° SEO SaaS platforms such as Incremys. The API goes far beyond manual report checking, enabling large-scale collection and use of strategic data.

Main features and data available through the api

The google search console api offers several key features: search analytics, sitemap management, property management and url inspection. It allows you to query traffic data (impressions, clicks, CTR, average position) using a wide range of filters (date range, page, query, country, device) and to group results by relevant dimensions. The api also simplifies sitemap management (submission, removal, information retrieval) and url inspection to check the indexing status of a page. Usage of the api is subject to strict quotas (requests per minute, per day, per user), so careful management is needed to avoid interruptions in automated analysis.

How to set up and activate access

To use the google search console api, you need a Google account, to create a project in the Google API Console, then activate the google search console api service and generate the required credentials (OAuth or service key). The project must be linked to the relevant Search Console property with appropriate permissions. This technical setup is essential to ensure data security and confidentiality, while respecting access rights.

Making the most of your data for SEO strategy

Monitor performance and identify opportunities

The google search console api automates the collection of key SEO KPIs: changes in impressions, click analysis, monitoring of average position and detection of drops in performance. It enables you to quickly spot pages losing visibility or offering untapped opportunities. By combining these insights with Google Analytics data, you can optimise your content at every stage of the user journey.

Create custom dashboards for effective monitoring

The google search console api allows you to build bespoke dashboards tailored to your organisation. These dashboards provide an aggregated, actionable view of your key indicators. Incremys’ performance reporting module uses the api to centralise all KPIs, automate report generation and offer visual, actionable monitoring of SEO performance across all your site’s urls.
