🧭 Overview

Two error messages commonly appear when your Google Search Console (GSC) integration loses its connection or encounters an authentication issue inside Search Atlas:

  • "Your connected GSC Account doesn't have any project associated"
  • "No properties found for 1 account"

Both errors mean Search Atlas cannot retrieve your GSC properties — usually because of a stale authentication token, a browser cache conflict, or a permission mismatch. Follow the steps below in order to resolve them quickly.

✅ Before You Start: Quick Checklist

Confirm the following before troubleshooting the integration itself:

  • You are logged into the correct Google account — the one that owns or has full access to the GSC property you need.
  • That Google account has Owner or Full User permission on the GSC property (not Restricted).
  • The GSC property is verified and active in your Google Search Console dashboard at search.google.com/search-console.
  • You are using a supported browser (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, latest version).

🔄 Step 1 — Disconnect Your GSC Account

  1. Log in to Search Atlas and open Settings from the top-right corner (avatar menu).
  2. Go to the Integrations section and locate your connected Google Search Console account.
  3. Click Disconnect (or Remove) next to the account showing the error.
  4. Wait for the confirmation message that the account has been removed before continuing.

🗑️ Step 2 — Clear Browser Cache and Cookies

A stale browser cache is one of the most common hidden causes of GSC authentication errors. Clearing it ensures the reconnection starts from a clean state.

  1. Open your browser settings and navigate to Privacy and Security.
  2. Select Clear browsing data.
  3. Set the time range to All time.
  4. Check both Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data.
  5. Click Clear data and wait for the process to finish.
  6. Fully close and restart your browser before moving to the next step.

🔑 Step 3 — Revoke Search Atlas Access in Google

Revoking the old permission token in Google ensures a completely fresh OAuth handshake when you reconnect.

  1. Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions in your browser.
  2. Find Search Atlas in the list of connected apps.
  3. Click on it, then select Remove Access and confirm.
  4. If Search Atlas does not appear in the list, proceed to Step 4 — no action is needed here.

🔗 Step 4 — Reconnect Your GSC Account

  1. Return to Search Atlas and navigate to Site Metrics → Site Explorer → Manage Sites (page: /gsc/sites-list).
  2. Click Connect GSC Account.
  3. In the Google sign-in window that appears, select the correct Google account that has access to your GSC properties.
  4. When prompted, click Allow to grant Search Atlas the required permissions. Make sure all permission checkboxes are selected before confirming.
  5. After the redirect back to Search Atlas, wait 15–30 seconds for the properties to load.

✔️ Step 5 — Verify Properties Are Now Visible

  1. Navigate to Site Metrics → Site Explorer → Open Google Search Console (Manage Sites/Connect GSC Account) in Search Atlas (page: GSC Accounts).
  2. Confirm your properties are now listed on the GSC Accounts page.
  3. Select the correct property and save your settings.
  4. Trigger a data refresh or wait for the next scheduled sync to confirm data is flowing correctly.

⚠️ Still Seeing the Error? Additional Checks

If the error persists after completing all five steps, review the following:

  • Multiple Google accounts open: Sign out of all Google accounts in your browser, then sign back in with only the account that owns the GSC property before reconnecting.
  • Domain property vs. URL-prefix property: Search Atlas supports both types, but ensure the property type in GSC matches how your site is configured. Check your GSC dashboard to confirm the property is verified.
  • GSC property has no data yet: Newly verified properties can take 24–48 hours before Google populates them with data. The integration may connect successfully but show empty reports until data is available.
  • Organisation-level restrictions: If your Google account is a Google Workspace account, your administrator may have restricted third-party app access. Contact your Google Workspace admin to whitelist Search Atlas.
