Add ChatGPT and verify your property
Follow the ChatGPT setup walkthrough to add ApexGenius, authorize the intended connections, and choose Read only for the first test. ChatGPT developer mode must be available to your account and allowed by your workspace. Start a new conversation, select ApexGenius, and ask:List the Google Search Console properties enabled for me in ApexGenius. Do not change anything.Confirm the property matches the one you enabled. Then ask for its top ten pages by clicks over a specific date range. Compare the property, dates, search type, clicks, and impressions with Search Console’s Performance report.
Five things to try
- Choose a property: list enabled properties before asking about a site.
- Analyze performance: compare clicks and impressions across two complete date ranges.
- Find query opportunities: review queries with high impressions and low click-through rates.
- Inspect a URL: review Google’s indexed version, selected canonical, and last crawl. This does not request indexing.
- Review sitemaps: list submitted sitemaps and reported warnings or errors.
Add a missing property
- Confirm the connected Google account and the exact property, such as
sc-domain:example.comorhttps://www.example.com/. These are separate properties. - Allow the Add Search Console property write tool for your AI client. Ask it to add that exact property. Review any approval request before continuing.
- Complete ownership verification in Google Search Console if required. Adding a property does not verify ownership, edit the website, or request indexing.
- Return to Connections → Google Search Console → Allowed resources. Choose Refresh, then enable the new property explicitly.
- Ask your AI to list enabled properties and read the new property’s permission level. Confirm the result before requesting a report.
Search Console API tools
The connector provides named tools for all ten methods in Google’s Search Console API:google_search_console_request tool remains available for property-relative calls. It requires an enabled property. Use the named Add property tool for a new property and the URL Inspection tool for inspection.
