Hey all,
I’m having trouble connecting Rankmath to Google. I’ve gone through the steps of deleting access from Google and reconnecting it but it’s still red under “search console” in analytics. I’ll also mention that I’m new to SEO and not a developer so perhaps I’m doing something wrong?
Please advise,
-Dan

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with connecting Rank Math to Google. It can be frustrating, especially when you’re new to SEO. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot the connection issue:
-
Test Connections: Go to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Analytics and click on the Test Connections option at the top right. This will help you validate the existing connections. A green signal indicates a valid connection, while a red signal indicates an issue.
-
Reconnect Your Google Account: If you see a red signal, try reconnecting your Google account. You can do this by clicking the Reconnect button in the Analytics settings.
-
Check Permissions: Ensure that you allow all permissions when prompted during the reconnection process. This is crucial for Rank Math to access your Google Analytics data.
-
Expired Tokens: If the problem persists, it might be due to expired authorization tokens. You can remove the Rank Math app from your Google Account permissions and then reconnect it again. To do this, visit your Google Account permissions and remove Rank Math SEO.
-
Configure Analytics Properties: After reconnecting, make sure to select all the values in the drop-down list to configure your Analytics properties and click on Save Changes.
If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, 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, and we hope to resolve it soon!

If you already have a Google Search Console and Analytics account, then 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.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

Hello,
We’ve checked your site, and it seems that you have chosen
sc:domainin the drop-down section
Please note that our plugin doesn’t fully support fetching data from domain properties. You’ll have to connect the URL-prefix property to fetch the data properly in Rank Math Analytics and Index Status. The URL-prefix property also helps keep your sitemap in sync with Google Search Console as we submit it automatically for you.
You can follow our guide here to create the URL Prefix property:
https://rankmath.com/kb/google-site-verification/#num-1-1-open-google-search-consolePlease verify using the URL prefix and ensure that you have verified the correct version of your website on the Google Search Console (HTTP or HTTPS, www or non-www)
Once done, reconnect your website to your Google Search Console account.
Hope that helps.
Hello,
Google often changes website titles algorithmically, especially if it determines that your original title is not appropriate or sufficient. Your website title currently reads “Home – Bucket List Guitars,” which may be the reason Google is altering it to “Bucket List Guitars: Home.”
Please consider changing your title by removing “Home -” and then request a re-indexing using the URL Inspection Tool. After that, wait for Google to recrawl your website.
We hope this clarifies the issue. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.
