How To Connect Google Search Console To Google Analytics

For anyone that is less familiar with Google Search Console. Google Search Console is a free service that lets you learn a great deal of information about your website and the people who visit it. You can use it to find out things like how many people are visiting your site and how they are finding it, whether more people are visiting your site on a mobile device or desktop computer, and which pages on your site are the most popular. It can also help you find and fix website errors, submit a sitemap, and create and check a robots.txt file. 

The first thing you will need to do is go to https://search.google.com/search-console/about. From here sign up for your free account and enter all the information needed.

Once you are finished you will need to login into your Google Analytics Account. If you don’t have a Google Analytics account you can sign up for a free one here.

Click on that tab and it will lead you how to connect your Google Search Console and Google Analytics Account. I have provided screen shots of the whole process for you to follow along in case you get a little lost.
