Google Search Console FAQs

Why is Google Search Console data not real-time in the Parse.ly Dashboard?

Google limits how often Google Search Console (GSC) data is shared with Parse.ly. Due to this, data seen in the Parse.ly Dashboard is delayed by 24-48 hours and captured in Pacific Time.

Why is data missing after integrating GSC with Parse.ly?

Due to Google’s limitations, only a few days of the most recent data are available in the Dashboard immediately after you integrate your account. Depending on the amount of data, all data will be accessible in the Dashboard over the next couple of hours to days.

How do I get access to view GSC data?

Your Parse.ly account admin can grant this access via the User Management page.

Is GSC data available at the network level?

Currently, GSC data is only available in the Dashboard at the individual site level.

Why doesn’t data in the Dashboard precisely match what’s seen in GSC?

Google doesn’t always show the same data in the Search Console as it sends through its API. This can cause extra keywords to appear in Parse.ly that aren’t visible in Google Search Console. Google also might show metrics in the Discover section not linked to URLs — these aren’t shared with Parse.ly.

Why doesn’t Google Discover data in Parse.ly match my other analytics?

Google doesn’t provide Discover traffic in real-time, so Parse.ly shows statistically modeled estimates for timely directional insight.
