Connect Google Search Console to Carrot

Connect your site to Google Search Console so you can view its search data in Carrot.

Connect your site

Sign in as the Carrot account owner and use a site with a connected custom domain. You also need a Google account. This connection verifies ownership automatically; you don’t need to add a DNS record first.

If you don’t have ownership access in Google, ask the Google account owner to connect, or to add you as an owner in Search Console. Use Google’s owner and permission help for that handoff.

  1. Open Google Search Console settings.

  2. Check the account and site name. If needed, select the site name at the top to choose another site, then open Site Admin → Settings → Google Search Console.

  3. Select Connect Search Console.

  4. Sign in to the Google account you want to connect and grant the permissions Carrot requests.

  5. Back in Carrot, wait while Verifying connection… appears. The page updates automatically.

    If it changes to Connection failed, select Reconnect Search Console and authorize again. For an ownership or permission problem, ask the Google account owner to connect, or to add you as an owner in Search Console. For other connection errors that persist, use the help drawer’s Support tab with the site name and message shown.

Check: The settings page shows Connected to Google Search Console, with Verified on and a date. Carrot verifies your site through an HTML tag and attempts to register its HTTPS URL-prefix property with Google.

This status confirms ownership verification. It does not mean Google has indexed every page or that report data is ready. New data can take a few days to appear. Open Search Performance, confirm the selected site, and use the report guide to read its results and pending states.

Disconnect or change the Google account

The Carrot account owner can disconnect a site’s connection, including one that is pending or failed. Search Performance data stops loading for that site until you connect again. Other sites connected through the same Google account stay linked.

  1. In Google Search Console settings, confirm the account and site.
  2. Select Disconnect and confirm the prompt.
  3. Check that Connect Search Console appears again. To use a different Google account, follow Connect your site above.

If disconnecting reports an error or the expected control is unavailable, use the help drawer’s Support tab.
