Description
Content Console brings Google Search Console insights into your WordPress admin and turns search performance data into content opportunities.
Connect a Google Search Console property, sync search queries and page performance, review recommended opportunities, and use the WordPress AI Client to generate content briefs and drafts through the AI provider configured by the site administrator.
AI-generated content is shown for review. The plugin does not automatically publish AI-generated content.
Features
- Connect a Google Search Console property with OAuth.
- Sync Search Console query and page performance data into WordPress.
- Surface content opportunities based on stored search performance data.
- Generate content briefs through the WordPress AI Client.
- Generate new WordPress drafts for review before publishing.
- Refresh existing WordPress posts with AI-assisted editing suggestions.
- Configure a business profile to provide context for AI generation.
- No built-in telemetry or analytics tracking.
External Services
Content Console connects to external services only when the administrator configures and uses those integrations.
Google Search Console
Content Console uses the Google Search Console API to retrieve search performance data for an authorized property. When you connect Search Console, Google OAuth is used to authorize access. The plugin requests the webmasters.readonly scope and sends the selected property and date range when synchronizing data.

AI providers through the WordPress AI Client
Content Console uses the WordPress AI Client built into WordPress 7.0 or later for AI generation. When an administrator requests a brief, draft, or content refresh, the plugin sends the relevant prompt and context to the WordPress AI Client. The AI Client routes the request to a provider configured by the site administrator under Settings > Connectors.
The provider may receive information included in the requested prompt, such as business profile details, Search Console opportunity data, and existing article content being refreshed. The privacy policy and terms of the configured provider apply to those requests.
Privacy
Content Console stores the following information in the local WordPress database when the related features are used:
- Business profile fields entered by an administrator.
- Google Search Console query, page, and performance data retrieved for the connected property.
- Google OAuth access and refresh tokens required to access the connected Search Console property.
- AI generation prompts and generated outputs.
Google Search Console data is requested only after an administrator explicitly connects a Google account and property. AI prompts are sent only when an administrator requests AI generation.
The plugin does not send telemetry or analytics data to its own servers.
Site owners should maintain a privacy policy that accurately describes their use of this plugin and the external services they configure.

Yes. Search Console is required for the content-opportunity workflow. The plugin can still be activated without connecting Search Console, but opportunity data will not be available.

Does the plugin publish AI content automatically?

No. Generated content is presented for review. Creating a WordPress draft or updating an existing post requires an explicit admin action.

Does the plugin collect telemetry?

Where is my data stored?

Search Console data, business profile information, and AI generation history are stored in your WordPress database. Google OAuth tokens are encrypted before storage.
