In our previous article, we explored the basic concepts and core features of Google Search Console. Now, let's examine how to effectively analyze and utilize this data.
While Google Search Console provides extensive data, finding specific insights and analysis can be challenging. By integrating with GA4 and utilizing marketing dashboards for data visualization, you can access the information you need more easily and efficiently.
GA4 enables you to generate integrated reports including Search Console data, allowing you to instantly grasp website traffic sources, search term traffic, and SEO effectiveness. Through this, you can collect the data needed for your marketing strategy.
Furthermore, by visualizing the interaction between advertising performance measured in GA4 and traffic sources collected through Search Console via a marketing dashboard, you can easily identify insights for advertising budget optimization and ROI improvement. In this article, we'll explore specific methods for integrating and analyzing this data.
When you connect Search Console data to GA4, you can view search term traffic data (clicks, impressions) directly in GA4. This enables integrated analysis of search performance and user behavior. Here's the integration process:
đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Before integration, ensure both platforms are pointing to the same website property.
Once integrated, a Search Console menu appears in GA4's navigation bar. In the Search Console menu, you can access the following data:
⚠️ Note: It may take 24-48 hours for Search Console data to appear in GA4.
When you visualize Search Console data in Adriel's dashboard, you can comprehensively analyze SEO performance at a glance. Keyword performance and landing page data are transformed into intuitive charts and graphs, making it easy to understand correlations between key metrics like clicks, impressions, CTR, and conversion rates.
In particular, you can instantly identify which keywords drive high traffic and which landing pages need performance improvements.
To utilize Search Console data in Adriel MI:

Looking at scattered data across Search Console and GA4 separately can make it difficult to see the complete picture. It's not easy to understand how search entries convert to actual customer journeys, or which keywords are delivering real value.
With the Adriel dashboard, you can integrate and visualize both data sources. You can verify the actual conversion rates of keywords showing high click-through rates in Search Console, and discover improvement points by analyzing user behavior patterns for these keywords.
You can gain insights about bounce rates by simultaneously examining Google Search Console and GA4 data:
đź’ˇ Insight: Keywords with high clicks but high bounce rates indicate that their associated landing pages need content and structure improvement!
By connecting real-time advertising media data to the Search Console dashboard with custom tables, you can easily compare organic keyword performance against keyword advertising. You can check performance tables for identical keywords simultaneously and derive integrated insights for budget optimization using various metrics like link clicks, channel-specific conversion rates, CAC, and LTV.
đź’ˇ Insight: Develop integrated keyword bidding and SEO strategies to create synergy between paid and organic channels.
We discussed the importance of data analysis using Search Console earlier, but seeing how charts and graphs can help discover insights among complex raw data becomes much more intuitive when looking at actual dashboard usage examples.
Using Scatter Plots to Identify Potential Keywords
In our previous article, we explained how to identify core keywords using Google Search Console. You can create the same analysis using scatter plot widgets in Adriel. You can instantly identify keywords that have high rankings (appearing on the right side of the graph) and relatively high impressions (appearing at the top of the graph). By targeting these keywords for SEO content, you can improve rankings while securing significant traffic.
Using Word Cloud to Identify High-CTR Keywords
Using the dashboard's word cloud chart, you can intuitively grasp patterns in keywords with high CTR. For instance, if words like 'Dashboard', 'centralized', 'integrate' appear in larger text, you can instantly see that users are searching for data integration solutions.
You can use these insights to determine future content creation direction or optimize meta tags. Additionally, discovering patterns among keywords with high CTR helps in finding new keywords for SEO optimization.
Achieving top search rankings requires more than just technical SEO optimization - it demands a data-driven strategic approach. By thoroughly analyzing keyword performance, optimizing landing pages, and creating content that matches search intent, you can achieve sustainable improvements in search rankings.
Effectively utilizing Google Search Console and GA4 data is the first step in this search ranking strategy. While examining data from individual platforms is important, focusing on extracting actionable SEO insights rather than spending time on repetitive analysis is crucial. Using a dashboard to integrate Search Console and GA4 data enables more efficient strategy development, implementation, and continuous improvement.
