Connecting Google Search Console to Lead Recorder
How to connect Search Console and see the likely search query behind your organic (unpaid search) leads.
Organic leads don't carry the kind of click identifier that paid ads do, so there's no way to know for certain which search brought someone in. Connecting Search Console gets you the next best thing: Lead Recorder looks up what people were actually searching for when they found the page an organic lead landed on, and shows the most likely match.
What you need
- Admin access to the site in Lead Recorder
- Your website already verified as a property in Google Search Console
- A Google account with access to that Search Console property
How to connect
- 1Open your site's dashboard and click Integrations.
- 2Click Connect next to Search Console.
- 3Sign in with the Google account that has access to your site's Search Console property, and grant the requested permission.
- 4Lead Recorder matches the property to your site's domain automatically — no need to pick anything.
Note: If the Google account you sign in with doesn't have access to a Search Console property matching your site's domain, the connection will fail. Double check you're using the right Google login.
What it looks for
For each organic lead, Lead Recorder looks at which search queries Search Console recorded against the page that lead landed on, around the time they converted, and surfaces the top one. Because Search Console doesn't track individual visitors the way an ad click ID does, this is always shown as a likely match rather than a certainty — you'll see it marked accordingly in the dashboard.
How syncing works
- Right after you connect, Lead Recorder immediately looks at your recent organic leads and fills in what it can — no waiting required.
- After that, it checks for new or still-pending leads automatically every few hours.
- Search Console's own reporting typically lags a few days behind real time, so very recent leads may stay on "pending" briefly before a match appears.
