Google Console Confusion

    Hi,
    I am trying to use RankMath on a client site and connecting to the Google Console Account for the clients within my Google admin. When I installed RM and connected to the domain for the client on my Console account, the keywords in the WP/RM Search Analytics pulled into the display on WP were those keywords from another client in a totally different industry. At the moment I have all clients on my main Google Console Account but now wonder whether I should open a new Gmail account, and thus Console Account, for each and every client and not use my own Gmail as the Administrator for each of my client Console accounts?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Usually, not only for Rank Math, but in general is recommended to use a different Gmail account for each website. You can avoid it if those are your websites and you want to manage all the data from just one account but for different clients, definitely it is recommended.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Alberto,
    Thanks for that info. So should I then simply open a new Gmail account and repeat submitting the site through Rank Math?
    Stay Safe.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Yes, that’s the recommended way. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hi,

    Are you suggesting that you cannot use the SEO Analytics in the Search Console window inside Rank Math will ONLY work if you just have 1 website in the authorised google account?!

    I have a similar issue where I have selected one account to connect to but the keywords searches are for another property in my search console. Just seems like you have a bug in the tool.

    I just opened another ticket because I could not find anything related.
    Now just reading this, this is exactly the same problem I’m facing.

    This is a bug because the GSC API does allow data per property.
    It looks very stupid now as my customer can not use the feature because it’s loading in data from one of my other customer’s property.

    :/

    Hi Nick, that is exactly the problem I have. I have my main account with client sites, I tried to add a particular client and the keywords that appeared were those for another client site.
    What I have done is open another Gmail account and apply for another API for RankMath. I then pasted that into the WP/RankMath and it seems ok. But I do think there is a bug pof some sort somewhere.

    The exact problem I have. I opened another Gmail account (that I would hand over to client should they wish to have access) and verified ownership of the Domain again.

    Hello,

    Can you please flush the cache of Google Search Console from here?
    clear cache search console
    /wp-admin/admin.php?page=rank-math-options-general#setting-panel-search-console

    Please let us know if that helped. Thank you.

    Yes that looks as though it has done it for me. The “Search Analytics” actually has phrases associated with the client’s industry.
    Thanks.
