Analytics association change in Google Search Console & page redirection

    I got two questions, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND BETTER:

    1. In my three weeks old site, I connected Google Search Console using MX records in Name Server and the property is just my domain. While setting up Rank Math plugin in my site, and connecting Google Services, it automatically added new property with URL prefix. I want to keep the property created by Rank Math and want to remove the old one, but Google Analytics is connected to old one, how to transfer it to new created Search Console’s property.

    2. I had Home page set to static page and created separate blog page for posts. I want to change back my home page to posts page. Does this needs any redirections?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay.

    1. Please make sure that your Rank Math plugin is updated to its latest version. After doing so try to disconnect Google in Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics, then remove the duplicate property in GSC and reconnect again. Let us know if it still comes up with two properties.

    Please note that having them appearing on your GSC should not affect your site functionality and therefore shouldn’t worry you. Having the domain verified using the URL prefix method makes it easy for Rank math to fetch data from your GSC to the analytics module.

    2. I’m assuming your blog URL now is domain.com/blog/. If you wanted to change your homepage to your latest posts, you’ll just need to add a redirect from the source /blog/ and redirect it to your homepage/domain URL.

    Here’s a link on how you can create a redirect using Rank Math:

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    How do I connect new Google Search Console having the prefix URL to google analytics. Because I already have an analytics connected with the old google search console property. (Refer to point No. 1)

    Hello,

    Thank you for you reply.

    Please follow the guide below to connect your property with the GSC.

    According to Google: An Analytics property can be associated with only one site, and vice versa. Creating a new association removes the previously existing association.

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

    Thank You for the help.
