Connecting your Google tools

Connect the Google tools that show what's working on your site. Each connection is per site and takes about a minute. Every tool follows the same shape: add Site Star's email as a user, then enter your details. The exact steps for each are below.

How it works

Make sure you're on the Website tab, then open Settings in the sidebar and click Integrations:

From there:

  • Next to the tool you want, click Connect.
  • Use the Copy button to copy Site Star's email, then follow the two steps for that tool.
Every tool connects the same way: add Site Star's email, then enter your details.

Ask Site Star

  • Connect Google Analytics. Property ID 123456789, measurement ID G-AB12CD34.
  • What email do I add in Search Console for you?

The Google half is yours: only you can add a user to your Google account. The Site Star half is one message with your details.

Or do it yourself in the Site Star dashboard

In Settings → Integrations, click Connect next to the tool and enter your details in Step 2.

Google Search Console

Search visibility, indexing, and the queries that bring people in.

  1. Step 1 · Add Site Star's email as a user

    In Search Console, go to Settings → Users and permissions → Add user, and paste in Site Star's email. "Restricted" permission is all that's needed.

  2. Step 2 · Enter your details

    Your GSC property, a URL like https://example.com/ or a domain property like sc-domain:example.com. Find it in Search Console under Settings → Property.

Google Analytics

Traffic and visitor reporting (GA4).

  1. Step 1 · Add Site Star's email as a user

    In Google Analytics, go to Admin → Property access management → Add users, and paste in Site Star's email. The "Viewer" role is all that's needed.

  2. Step 2 · Enter your details

    Your Property ID (numbers, like 123456789, found under Admin → Property settings) and your Measurement ID (like G-AB12CD34, found under Admin → Data streams → your web stream).

Google Tag Manager

Tags and tracking snippets, managed in one container.

  1. Step 1 · Add Site Star's email as a user

    In Tag Manager, go to Admin → User Management, and paste in Site Star's email. "Read" access is all that's needed.

  2. Step 2 · Enter your details

    Your Account ID (a number, found under Admin → Account settings) and your Container ID (like GTM-A1B2C3, shown at the top of your Tag Manager workspace).

Edit or disconnect

Once a tool is linked, it shows Connected. You can Edit the details or Disconnect it any time from the same place.

Ask Site Star

  • Which Google tools are connected?
  • Disconnect Google Tag Manager
  • Our GA measurement ID changed to G-ZZ99YY88
Or do it yourself in the Site Star dashboard

In Settings → Integrations, use Edit or Disconnect next to the tool.
