Hello,
We apologize for the concern you are facing regarding Rank Math’s access to your Gmail account. It’s important to clarify that Rank Math requires specific permissions to function properly, especially when it comes to integrating with Google Analytics and other services.
When you connect your Google account to Rank Math, it requests permissions to perform certain actions, such as:
- Create a new Google Analytics account if you don’t have one.
- Edit Google Analytics management entities to allow for the creation of new views.
- See and download your Google Analytics data to display reports.
- View your AdSense data for performance insights.
- Manage Search Console data for your verified sites, which includes verifying your website and submitting sitemaps.
- Manage the list of sites and domains you control to streamline the verification process.
You can find more detailed information about these permissions in our Analytics documentation.
If you did not authorize this access or feel uncomfortable with it, you can revoke Rank Math’s access by navigating to your Google Account permissions and removing Rank Math from the list of third-party apps with account access. After that, if you wish to continue using Rank Math, you can reconnect it and choose the permissions you are comfortable granting.

We take security very seriously, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you have further questions or need assistance with this process, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern!
Hello,
I just will like to know, what exactly RankMath is accessing and what for and if the access is trust-able.
Thanks
Hello,
Apologies for the confusion.
Rank Math does not have any access to your mailbox or private information as we only fetch the data from your Google Search Console to display the data on your WordPress dashboard.
You may refer to the permissions needed in our guide here as well:

Looking forward to helping you.
