Description
You are looking at a page in WordPress. You want that same URL in Google Search Console performance. Without this plugin you copy the link, open GSC, find the page filter, paste.
AT Search Console adds View in Search Console to the WordPress admin bar. One click opens that URL’s clicks, impressions, CTR, and position in GSC.
On desktop, the link appears in the admin bar like other plugins. On phones and tablets, WordPress hides custom top-level admin bar items, so the same link also appears under your site name menu on the front end (and under the pencil menu when editing a post).
It does not install a tracking tag. It does not pull analytics into WordPress. It opens the right GSC screen for the page you are on.
Features
- View in Search Console in the admin bar on the front end (top-level on desktop)
- Same link when editing a post or page in wp-admin (including drafts)
- Mobile-friendly duplicate under the site name or pencil menu where WordPress allows it
- Simple settings: pick your property, test it, save — custom property hidden under Advanced »
- Works for users with the
manage_optionscapability - Page filter uses “URLs containing” so UTM and other query variants still match
Screenshots
Installation
- Install from Plugins Add New (search “AT Search Console”), or upload a zip whose top-level folder is
at-search-console. - Activate AT Search Console.
- Go to Settings AT Search Console. Pick the property that matches Search Console, click Test this property, then save.
- Visit any front-end page while logged in as an administrator. Click View in Search Console in the admin bar.
Keep a single copy of the plugin. If two “AT Search Console” rows appear under Plugins, deactivate and delete the extra folder.
FAQ
-
Where is View in Search Console on mobile?
-
WordPress does not show custom top-level admin bar links on narrow screens. On mobile, open your site name menu at the top left of the admin bar. View in Search Console is listed there. When editing a post, use the pencil (Edit) menu instead.
-
Do I need Google Search Console set up first?
-
Yes. The site (or domain) must be a verified property in your Google account. If it is not, Google will ask you to verify when the link opens.
-
Why does it say I do not have access to this property?
-
The property selected in Settings does not match a property you verified in Search Console. Open Search Console, check the property list, pick the same entry under Settings AT Search Console, and use Test this property before using the admin bar link.
-
Why do I see two AT Search Console plugins?
-
Each folder under
wp-content/plugins/is a separate plugin. Keep one install in theat-search-consolefolder. WordPress.org updates replace that folder in place. -
Does this replace a Search Console connection plugin?
-
No. This only deep-links to GSC for the current URL.
