Setup

Unlike many other web services, Google doesn’t offer simple API keys. Instead, you’ll need to create API credentials in JSON format to connect your Typemill website with Google Search Console data. It might seem a bit complicated — but the benefits are worth it. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Access to Google Search Console with a property for your site.
• A Google Cloud account.
• API credentials in JSON format.

Step 1: Get API Credentials

Create a project in Google Cloud.

Enable the Google Search Console API.

Go to Credentials and create a new Service Account.

Fill out the service account form

Copy the service account name.

In the service account, go to Keys and generate a new key in JSON format.

Step 2: Grant Access in Search Console

Go to Google Search Console and select your property.

Open user management and add the service account ID as a new user.

Step 3: Add Credentials to Typemill

1. Open the downloaded service-account.json file.
2. Copy the entire JSON content.
3. In Typemill, open any page and go to the SEO tab.
4. Paste the content into the service account field and save.

After setup, Google Search Console data will be available in the SEO tab of each page.
