## **🔍 Overview**

If Google Search Console (GSC) data is missing or blank in your reports, the most common cause is that the associated location has not been **activated** in your project settings. Report data visibility in Search Atlas is directly tied to a location's activation status.

## **⚙️ How Location Activation Affects GSC Reports**

Search Atlas controls which locations contribute data to your reports based on their activation state. A location must be **active** for its GSC statistics to appear in your reports. Even if the GSC integration is confirmed and data is visible elsewhere, an inactive location will not surface that data in generated reports.

- **Active location:** GSC data is included and visible in reports.
- **Inactive location:** GSC data is excluded from reports, even if the integration is working correctly.

## **🛠️ How to Fix Missing GSC Data in Reports**

1. Navigate to your project's location settings.
2. Find the location that is missing data in reports.
3. Check the location's status. If it is set to **Inactive**, switch it to **Active**.
4. Open or regenerate the relevant report for that location.
5. Confirm that GSC statistics are now visible in the report.

## **✅ How to Confirm the Integration Is Working**

Before checking activation status, verify the following to rule out other issues:

- The GSC account is connected and authorised under Site Metrics → Site Events/Site Structure (GSC pages) → Connect GSC Account / Manage Sites.
- GSC data is visible for the location in question outside of the report.
- The correct date range is selected in the report.

If all of the above are confirmed and data still does not appear in your report, the activation status of the location is the most likely cause.
