Connect Google with zero second-guessing

It is the first question every SEO and every client asks. The answer: Search Console and Analytics connect read-only, Business Profile is only touched if you turn on Local SEO, and you can disconnect any time. Here is exactly what each connection grants.

What we request

Each connection, and the exact scope

Google Search Console

Google Analytics 4

Connected read-only. AIORadar can view your traffic and engagement data to show trends and tie search to real visits. It cannot modify your property, configuration, or data.

Google Business Profile

Optional · manage

Optional, only if you connect Local SEO. OpenID and email let AIORadar recognise and retain each Google sign-in without duplicating or overwriting it. Google provides a single management scope for Business Profile data, so this is not read-only: it lets AIORadar view your profile and prepare posts you publish yourself. Skip it if you do not use Local SEO.

You stay in control

Optional, revocable, least-access

You approve every scope

Connections happen through Google's own consent screen, which shows you exactly what you are granting. AIORadar is a verified, published Google app.

Tokens are stored securely

Access tokens are kept in an encrypted-at-rest database and used only to fetch your data when you use the relevant module. Never sold or shared.

Disconnect any time

Revoke any connection from your AIORadar settings, or from your Google account, whenever you like. The AI Overview tracker works with no Google connection at all.

Common questions

Is my Google Search Console and Analytics data safe?
Yes. AIORadar connects to Search Console and GA4 through Google OAuth using read-only scopes, so it can view your data but can never change, delete, or publish anything. Connecting is optional, and you can disconnect at any time from your settings.
Do I need to connect Google Search Console?
It's optional but recommended. Connecting Search Console and GA4 unlocks the Intelligence modules: Queries, Pages, Opportunities, CTR Optimizer, cannibalization, rank tracking, and traffic analytics. The AI Overview tracker and gap analysis work without it. Connecting takes one click via Google OAuth, and AIORadar only requests read-only access.

Track AI Overviews, no Google connection required

Start with keyword scans alone, then connect Search Console read-only whenever you want deeper intelligence.
