Google Search Console Setup Guide
Connect your Google account so Oskuo can monitor your search performance, check indexing status, and manage sitemaps.
Prerequisites
- check_circle A Google account with at least one verified property in Google Search Console
- check_circle An active Oskuo account on any plan
- info This integration is in beta while we complete Google app verification. To get access, email support@oskuo.com.
Connecting Google Search Console to Oskuo
- 1 Open Settings → Connectors in Oskuo and find the Google Search Console connector.
- 2 Click Connect to start the Google OAuth flow. You will be redirected to Google to sign in.
- 3 Review the requested Search Console permissions and click Allow. Once authorised, Google Search Console will show as Connected.
Available tools
- check_circle List properties — see all verified sites and domain properties in your Search Console account
- check_circle Search analytics — query clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position by page, query, country, or device
- check_circle Inspect URL — check the indexing status of a specific URL
- check_circle List sitemaps — view all submitted sitemaps and their status
- check_circle Submit sitemap — submit a new sitemap URL for Google to crawl
- check_circle Delete sitemap — remove a previously submitted sitemap
Try it out
Here are some things you can ask Oskuo to do:
- chat_bubble "Top search queries this month?"
- chat_bubble "Check indexing status of example.com/blog"
- chat_bubble "Submit my sitemap"
- chat_bubble "Which pages lost the most clicks compared to last month?"
Good to know
- info Oskuo can access all verified properties under the connected Google account.
- info Submitting sitemaps tells Google to crawl the listed URLs — this directly affects your site's indexing.
- info Search analytics data has a 2–3 day delay, which is a Google limitation. The most recent data may not be available immediately.
- info Managing property verification, users, or crawl settings is not supported through this connector.
Keeping things secure
- lock Oskuo connects using Google's official sign-in flow. Your Google password is never shared with Oskuo.
- lock Oskuo can access all verified properties under your account. Submitting or deleting sitemaps affects indexing, so use these tools deliberately.
- lock Your credentials are encrypted with AES-256 and stored securely. They are never visible to other team members.
- lock All Search Console activity is logged in your team's audit trail for full transparency.
- lock Revoke access anytime in Google Account → Security → Third-party apps with access.
Troubleshooting
Oskuo says "No properties found" expand_more
You need at least one verified property in Google Search Console. Visit Search Console to add and verify your site, then reconnect.
I see a "Permission denied" error expand_more
You need Owner or Full access on the property in Search Console. If you only have Restricted access, ask the property owner to upgrade your permissions.
