    Hi,

    I have installed and integrated Rank Math with Google Analytics, however when I go to the google analytics dashboard, in the accounts I have one account, then in properties, I have with the same name but different codes, one states GA4 but no section for views, the other has views and in that it is all website data.

    I am confused what the difference is and how do I find the google analytics data within the WordPress plugin as I cannot source this.

    I look forward to your help.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    The properties you see with no “views” are usually the new Google Analytics properties which are GA4.

    At the moment, GA4 isn’t quite ready for prime time if you need views or filters. GA4 is relatively new and Google is still improving this version thus you may notice incomplete features when you are comparing it to Universal Analytics or GA3.

    Here’s an official statement from Google:

    Currently we do not offer this feature in Google Analytics 4 but are planning similar functionality in the future.

    You may check this comment here: https://adsonair.withgoogle.com/events/new-google-analytics/watch?talk=video

    For now, you can make use of UA or GA3 to successfully integrate Google Analytics to Rank Math. https://rankmath.com/kb/using-ga4/

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Thank you for the information, this explains the blank information in GA4.

    With the data being present in UA, how comes I cannot see this in my Rank Math WordPress dashboard?

    Can you see if I have an error with my setup?

    2. is there a way to link Google Search Console with Rank Math,as I have linked my domain to GSC?

    3. With the website just being launched, is there a way to see if google search has picked up my website as I cannot see it in google yet?

    Thanks,
    Neel

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow-up, and sorry for the delay.

    Since you mentioned that your website has just launched, could you please confirm if you have data already present in your Google Search Console like Total impressions, Total clicks, etc.?

    If so, and those are still not showing in Rank Math, please follow the steps in this link (You can disregard the Rank Math PRO update step if you’re not using it):
    https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/analytics-data-not-showing-read-here/?view=all

    3. Could you please confirm if you’re referring to the Google search results page? I’ve checked your site, and it seems that it is already showing there. Please see the screenshot in the designated sensitive data section.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.

    Hi,

    1. GCS is not showing any clicks, impressions etc. However I have linked my domain.

    2. The google search page attached is great thanks, for the first URL which shows the domain then : home, how do I get this to change to not show “home”?

    What are the best next steps as GA shows users but I am not getting clicks and impressions from GCS.

    Neel

    To add, I have just gone into GA and found product linking and selected to link to GCS and now see clicks and impressions.

    3. I also have used Rank Math SEO feature, for my webpages, however on GCS it is showing the coverage section, 14 have been excluded. If I infer correctly, this means that 14 webpages have not been indexed by google?

    Update, the WP plug is showing 0 clicks and 0 impressions.

    Is there a method I can give you access to my settings within WP such that you can appropriately assess?

    Hello,

    Do you have clicks and impressions in the Google Search Console?

    If the data is not showing in the Rank Math Analytics dashboard, please follow below steps:

    1. Connect or Reconnect Google: https://rankmath.com/kb/connect-your-google-account/
    2. Delete old data and add again: https://rankmath.com/kb/delete-old-analytics-data/
    3. If it doesn’t work, share the system info, from Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools > Copy to clipboard.

    Some options are only available if you have enabled Advanced mode in the Rank Math dashboard.
    Here is a screenshot for your reference:
    https://i.rankmath.com/j1JDxf

    To change homepage title, head over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Homepage > Homepage title
    homepage

    For search console issues, please submit the sitemap again in the search console and wait for Google to crawl the sitemap, as your website is new, it might take some time for Google to crawl the website.

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    I have followed your steps and reconnected GCS to Rank Math and that did not work.

    I do have clicks and impressions in GCS and GA there is data on users and bounce rate etc.

    When going into status & tools > database tools – there is no copy to clipboard option.

    I do have an advanced setup.

    2. Google search – when people search for the website, is there a way such that various webpages show as a table in the same search, for example, a quadrant with 4 of the webpages that people can click on straight away, or is that only happening once the site has been crawled and accessed many times.

    please see of searching Nike on google. I cannot add my screenshot to this ticket.

    Hello,

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    1. The Copy to clipboard option is available at Rank Math > Status & Tools > System Status.

    2. Those are sitelinks, Getting the sitelinks is an automatic process. Basically, you just have to have enough authority and backlinks for Google to deem your website worthy of those sitelinks.

    Here’s Google take on it:

    https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/47334?hl=en

    And here’s how to get sitelinks:

    Hello,

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    I also want to add that i have installed:Google Analytics Dashboard for WP (GADWP), however this also adds a tracking code.

    I think this also causes issues with tracking metrics, I think it may be worth me deactivating.

    However, Google Analytics Dashboard for WP (GADWP), also shows sessions and pageviews. Does RankMath show these metrics?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Please deactivate any other plugin that adds the Analytics code to your website if you want to use Rank Math Add Analytics code option.

    Rank Math Analytics shows Search Impressions, Search Clicks, Total Keywords, Avg. CTR, etc, it does not show sessions and pageviews.

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you for the clarity, I will disable the other plug-in to only use rank math.

    what email address can I use to set up the temporary log-in details?

    Hello,

    Thank you for the follow-up.

    You can use s******@r*********** email address and add the generated login details in the sensitive data section to investigate further.

    Thank you, and looking forward to helping you.
