What it does
Lists every domain in your workspace and lets you connect (or see the connection status of) Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 for each one.Why you should use it
It’s the only way to get real performance data flowing into Analytics — nothing shows up there until a domain’s integrations are connected here.Where to find it
Sidebar → Settings. (Also reachable via your avatar menu → Profile settings — it’s currently the same page.)What information you must enter
Nothing typed — connecting is a one-click OAuth flow (you’ll sign in with the Google account that has access to that property).Step-by-step
1
Open Settings
Sidebar → Settings. Each of your domains appears as a card.[SCREENSHOT NEEDED: Settings page with domain cards and Connect buttons]
2
Click Connect next to an integration
You’ll see Connect google_search_console or
Connect google_analytics_4 as a button if not yet connected.
3
Sign in with Google
You’re redirected to Google’s own sign-in and permission screen. Pick
the account that has access to the Search Console property / GA4
property for that exact domain.
4
You're returned to Settings
The button is replaced with a green Connected: google_search_console
(or
google_analytics_4) badge.What happens after connecting
Nothing publishes or changes on your website — this only grants MAEL read access to your existing Search Console / GA4 data. The first sync happens automatically; expect data in Analytics within about a day.What this page does not do
- No “Add domain” button — domains are added by a platform administrator via the Clients page. See Initial Setup.
- No WordPress or Ahrefs connect option — those integrations exist, but aren’t wired to a dashboard button yet; an administrator sets them up directly. See Initial Setup → Connecting integrations.
Common mistakes
- Signing in with the wrong Google account (one that doesn’t actually have access to that property) — you’ll connect successfully, but see no data. Disconnect and reconnect with the right account (ask your administrator if you’re not sure which account has access).
