🌐 Overview

If you manage SEO for multiple clients, Search Atlas lets you connect separate Google Search Console (GSC), Google Analytics 4 (GA4), and Google Business Profile (GBP) accounts to each client workspace. This article explains how the company-selection step works so every client's data stays correctly linked.

🏢 How Multi-Client Google Integrations Work

Search Atlas is built around a workspace-per-client model. Each client you manage has its own workspace, and Google integrations are connected at the workspace level — not at a global account level. This means you must select the correct company or property after switching into the relevant client workspace.

When you authenticate with Google, you are granting Search Atlas access to all properties available under your Google account. The company or property selector then appears so you can choose exactly which GSC site, GA4 property, or GBP location belongs to the client you are currently working on.

🔍 Connecting Google Search Console and GA4

  1. From the left sidebar, navigate to Site Metrics (Site Explorer) (URL: /site-explorer/list).
  2. Open or create the project for the client you want to connect.
  3. Click Open Google Search Console and, on the GSC Sites List page, click Connect GSC Account (or the equivalent option, Connect GA Account).
  4. Sign in with the Google account that has access to the client's properties.
  5. After authentication, a property selector dropdown will appear — this is where you choose the specific client site or GA4 property from the list.
  6. Select the correct property and click Confirm.
  7. Repeat these steps for each client by switching workspaces first.

Important: If you do not see the property selector, refresh the page and reconnect. The dropdown only appears after a successful Google authentication handshake.

📍 Connecting Google Business Profile (GBP)

  1. From the left sidebar, navigate to Local → GBP Projects (URL: /gbp-galactic/gbp-projects).
  2. Open the GBP project for the relevant client, or create a new one.
  3. Click Connect Google Business Profile.
  4. Authenticate with the Google account that manages the client's GBP location.
  5. A location selector will appear listing all business locations available under that Google account.
  6. Select the correct business location for this client and click Confirm.

Once connected, GBP data will populate across Local → Overview, Local → Reviews, and other sub-pages within that project.

💡 Tips for Managing Many Clients

  • Always switch workspaces first before connecting or changing a Google integration — this ensures the property is linked to the right client.
  • If a client's Google account is separate from yours, use the Sign in with a different account option during the Google authentication step.
  • You can reconnect or change a linked property at any time by returning to the same settings area and clicking Reconnect.
  • Each workspace stores its own integration credentials independently, so updating one client's connection will never affect another.

🛠️ WordPress Plugin Installation

The Search Atlas WordPress plugin allows you to sync on-page SEO data directly from your client's website. Follow these steps to install it:

  1. Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard for the client's website.
  2. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Upload the Search Atlas plugin .zip file provided by Search Atlas.
  4. Click Install Now, then click Activate.
  5. Once activated, go to the plugin settings page and enter your Search Atlas API key. You can find your API key inside your Search Atlas account under your profile settings.
  6. Save the settings. The plugin will now sync your site data with your Search Atlas workspace.

Note: Make sure the API key you enter belongs to the same Search Atlas workspace as the client project you want to connect. Using a mismatched key is the most common reason the plugin does not sync correctly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

  • I authenticated with Google but no property selector appeared. — Refresh the page and try reconnecting. If the issue persists, make sure the Google account you used actually has access to the client's GSC, GA4, or GBP properties.
  • Can I connect the same Google property to multiple workspaces? — Yes, the same property can be linked to more than one workspace if needed.
  • The plugin installed but data is not syncing. — Verify the API key is correct and that the plugin is activated. Also check that your server can make outbound HTTPS requests.
