## Why Connect

| Benefit | What It Does |
| --- | --- |
| **Better prompt suggestions** | Prompt Mining uses your real GSC queries to suggest prompts that reflect what buyers actually search |
| **Search vs AI correlation** | See which of your top search queries are also areas where you need AI visibility |
| **Query-level insight** | See the real search queries your site already ranks for - the raw material for new prompts |

## How to Connect

1. Go to **Integrations → Connectors**, find **Google Search Console**  
2. Click **Connect with Google**  
3. Sign in with the Google account that has GSC access for your domain  
4. Select your verified **property** (your domain) from the list  
5. Click **Save property**. GrackerAI begins importing your data

> **Tip:** Select the property with the most complete data. Usually your root domain (e.g. `https://yoursite.com`) rather than a subdomain or subfolder property.

## Permissions

GrackerAI requests **read-only** access to your GSC data. We never write to or modify your GSC settings or data.

## What GrackerAI Imports

- Your top search queries with impressions and click data - these feed Prompt Mining's GSC source

This data is used only to improve your prompt suggestions and performance correlation. It is never shared with other customers.

---

## Data Refresh

GSC data refreshes daily inside GrackerAI. Most GSC metrics have a **2–3 day lag** on Google's side, which carries through to GrackerAI.

---

## How to Disconnect

1. Go to **Integrations → Connectors**  
2. Find **Google Search Console**  
3. Click **Disconnect**

Disconnecting stops future data imports. Your existing imported data is retained in GrackerAI until you delete it.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | What to Check |
| --- | --- |
| Property not visible after login | Confirm the Google account has at least Restricted access in GSC |
| No data showing after connecting | Wait 24 hours. Backfill takes time on first connection |
| Data looks stale | Check GSC directly. The lag is usually on Google's side, not GrackerAI |
