Connecting Google Account and Analytics Permissions

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Please stay advised that the step is completely optional and your website’s SEO is not impacted by this.

The Analytics module helps you see crucial stats inside your WordPress dashboard after you connect your account with Rank Math’s Google app. Like this:

Hello,

Sure:
1. Create a new Google Analytics account along with its default property and view
This is added as an option inside the plugin so users can create a new default view for their Analytics account and for the new sites that do not have any Analytics connected with that Gmail account, to verify a new Analytics profile.

2- Edit Google Analytics management entities
View, add, update and delete Google Analytics management entities as well as view report data
Google does not allow separate permissions for editing only. This is a single scope and is used only to add/edit the Google Analytics properties.
The plugin uses this scope to only add a new view. You can not delete or edit a view as that is not allowed.

3- View your Google Analytics data
View your configuration information
View your reports
This is used to fetch the data from the selected Google Analytics account.

4- View your AdSense data
View your ad clients, ad units, and channels in AdSense
View your AdSense performance and earnings reports
This is used to display the overall earnings from Google AdSense. This will be added to the upcoming Pro version of the plugin.

5- View and manage Search Console data for your verified sites
View and manage Search Console data (e.g., manage your sites, submit sitemaps)
This scope is needed to pull the data from Google Search Console and also submit the Sitemaps directly to Google Search Console.

6- Manage the list of sites and domains you control
View and manage the list of sites and domains you control
View and manage the owners of domains you control
This scope is used to verify a new domain to the connected Google account. This helps automate the process of verifying a site with Google Search Console, unlike old times when users had to manually verify their websites.

With that said, the Analytics module is completely optional.

In a few weeks time, we will be updating the following KB article on the information on how you can create and use your custom app:

Previously, it was easy to simply use a filter but with the updated automation we have added, some coding will be required. We will list all the steps clearly on how to achieve that.

Hope that helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
