Search Console & Bing
Connect Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to read, inside snorklee, the search queries that bring traffic to your site: keywords, pages, clicks, impressions, CTR and average position. The connection is read-only and optional, and none of your visitors' data is sent to these services.
You connect from the Integration → External sources tab. Once connected, the Search (SEO) card on the Analytics tab shows your statistics.
Google Search Console
Google Search Console connects through your own Google account (OAuth 2.0). No file to paste: you click a button, authorize read-only access, and you're done.
- In snorklee, Integration → External sources tab, click "Connect Google Search Console".
- You're redirected to Google: pick the Google account that has access to your Search Console and confirm the authorization (requested scope: read-only Search Console data).
- Back in snorklee, choose the property to track from the list (snorklee only offers properties your account can access), e.g.
sc-domain:example.comorhttps://example.com/, then Save.
snorklee keeps an encrypted refresh token to renew access on its own. You can disconnect at any time from the same card, or revoke access directly in your Google account settings.
Bing Webmaster Tools
Bing uses a simple API key.
- Sign in to Bing Webmaster Tools and make sure your site is added there.
- Open Settings → API access → API key and generate a key.
- In snorklee, Integration → External sources tab, paste the API key and the site URL exactly as it appears in Bing Webmaster Tools (e.g.
https://example.com). - Submit: the key is tested and then encrypted at rest.
Read-only and sovereignty
Google and Bing are US services, outside snorklee's EU sovereign perimeter. Enabling them is your own initiative and does not alter the rest of the analytics in any way:
- strictly read-only access: snorklee never changes your Search Console or Bing configuration;
- none of your visitors' data is sent to these services — only their search statistics are read;
- your credentials are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM);
- you can disconnect at any time from the same card: the credentials are then deleted.
