🔍 Why Aren't My Google Search Console Properties Showing in the Reports Dropdown?

In some accounts, Google Search Console is connected and your properties are visible in the integration view, yet the property selector in the reports builder stays empty — so you can't connect a Search Console property to a report.

This affects team member seats, and it has a quick fix.

🔍 How to Recognize This Issue

This is likely your situation if all of the following are true:

  • Your GSC integration shows as connected in Site Metrics → Site Explorer → 'Open Google Search Console' (Manage Sites page) (for example, it shows the number of sites found).
  • Clicking View properties in the integration shows your Search Console properties listed correctly.
  • Your data loads normally when you open Google Search Console directly.
  • But the property selector in the reports builder is empty and does not list your properties when you try to connect one to a report.

You can still create and view reports — only the step of connecting a Search Console property to a report is blocked.

🧩 Why This Happens

Your account is set up as a team member seat, and the reports builder requires each user to have their own Google account connected directly.

When this per-user connection hasn't been completed for your login, your Search Console properties won't appear in the reports dropdown — even though the account itself already has GSC connected.

🛠️ How to Fix It

While logged in with your own user:

  1. Go to Site Metrics → Site Explorer → 'Open Google Search Console' (Manage Sites page).
  2. Click Connect GSC Account.
  3. Authorize with the Google account that has access to your Search Console properties.

📈 What to Expect After Connecting

Once connected, your properties will sync and appear in the reports dropdown within a few minutes.

You do not need to rebuild any reports you've already created.

✅ In Short

Even though your Search Console connection looks complete at the account level, the reports builder needs your own Google account connected on your login. Once you complete that one-time connection, your properties sync within a few minutes and everything you've already built stays exactly as it is — so you can pick up right where you left off, no rework required.
