Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue you are facing while trying to connect to Google Search Console using Rank Math SEO.
I understand that you have installed Rank Math SEO and started optimizing SEO. To connect to Google Search Console, please follow these steps:
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → Setup Wizard → Analytics → Connect Google Services.
When you reach the Connect Google Services page, if the dropdown for the account is empty, please ensure that you are logged into the correct Google account in your browser.
Regarding allocating permissions, once you select the account, you should see a screen where you need to grant permissions to Rank Math. If you do not see this screen, please make sure any pop-up blockers are disabled in your browser.
If you encounter any further issues or need additional assistance with connecting to Google Search Console, please reply here, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Best regards.

Have tried the above, but still do not seem to be able to connect!
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
You can skip the Google connection process in the Setup Wizard and after completing the setup please try to follow the steps below and see if that works for you.
1. Make sure that you have verified your website on Google Search Console, if not, follow this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/google-site-verification/
2. Please make sure that you are not connecting to Google Search Console via a domain property but rather a URL prefix and that you have verified the correct version of your website on the Google Search Console (HTTP or HTTPS, www or non-www).
3. Please remove RankMath’s app from your Google apps permissions: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
4. Once done, reconnect the Google account again from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics and configure the Search Console and Analytics settings again.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hello,
We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
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):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hi
Great and Thanks!
[Login Details moved to sensitive data section]
Tried removing google property and re verifying, to see if I can get copy of the HTML tag, but Google verifies automatically, so do not see how I can see/find teh HTML tag.
Is there anything else that uou need
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
We’ve checked your site, and the Google Search Console dropdown is already filled, which means you won’t need to verify your website via the HTML tag.
Regarding the Analytics drop-down, this can happen if you haven’t created a property for your website.
If not yet, please visit this page (https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/) and sign up for a Google Analytics account and property, then reconnect your Google Account so the new Analytics account will reflect in that section.
Hope that helps.
Hi,
Thanks.
Looks like we are now connected!
Is there anything else we need to do?
Hello,
We logged in to your site and saw that the analytics module has been connected with Google correctly. You do not need to take further action.
Do you still need our assistance with anything else?
We really look forward to helping you.
Thank you.
