Use the Bulk Refresh feature to re-sync all Google Search Console (GSC) site lists across every GSC account connected to your Search Atlas workspace with a single click — then track the refresh status in real time from the Integrations page.
🔍 What Is a Bulk GSC Site Refresh?
A bulk GSC site refresh pulls the latest list of GSC properties from every connected GSC account in your Search Atlas workspace simultaneously. Use it when:
- You added new properties in GSC and want them available in Search Atlas right away.
- You removed or transferred sites in GSC and need your workspace list to reflect the change.
- You manage multiple GSC accounts and want all site lists updated at once.
The refresh runs asynchronously — processing in the background so you can keep working while Search Atlas syncs your data from the GSC API.
🚀 How to Trigger a Bulk GSC Site Refresh
- In Search Atlas, go to Settings → Integrations → Google Search Console.
- Under Connected Accounts, click Refresh Sites.
- In the confirmation dialog, click Confirm.
Search Atlas immediately queues a background refresh across all connected GSC accounts. The status indicator updates to Pending to confirm the refresh has started.
📡 How to Monitor the Bulk Refresh Status
After triggering the refresh, track progress directly on the Google Search Console integrations page.
- Stay on Settings → Integrations → Google Search Console.
- Locate the status indicator next to the Refresh Sites button.
- Reload the page at any time to get the latest update.
The indicator displays one of the following states:
- Pending — the refresh is queued and will begin shortly.
- In Progress — Search Atlas is actively fetching site data from the GSC API.
- Completed — all GSC sites have been synced. Your updated property list is now available across Search Atlas.
- Failed — one or more accounts could not sync. Follow the troubleshooting steps below.
Most refreshes complete within a few minutes; larger workspaces with many connected accounts may take longer. When the status shows Completed, your full GSC site list is ready to use in all Search Atlas features.
⚠️ Troubleshooting a Failed Bulk Refresh
If the status shows Failed, try these steps in order:
- Re-authorize the affected GSC account: Go to Settings → Integrations → Google Search Console, disconnect the account, reconnect it, then click Refresh Sites again.
- Verify GSC permissions: In Google Search Console, confirm your Google account has at least Full or Restricted access to the properties you expect to appear.
- Retry after a short wait: Temporary GSC API outages can cause failures. Wait a few minutes, then click Refresh Sites to start a new refresh.
If the refresh continues to fail after completing all steps above, contact Search Atlas Support and include the affected Google account email address and the approximate time the refresh was triggered.
🎯 You can now trigger a bulk refresh of all your GSC site lists and monitor its progress in real time from the Search Atlas Google Search Console integrations page. For help adding a new GSC account to your workspace, see How to Connect Google Search Console to Search Atlas.
