Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Property not visible in selection	Ensure the website property is verified inside Google Search Console using the same Google account used during authentication.
Authentication popup blocked	Disable pop-up blockers or try using Chrome while logged into the correct Google account.
Data not showing in Data Studio	Reconnect the data source and refresh fields inside Data Studio.
Bad Request error 400	Return to the Data Studio homepage and ensure the same Google account is used in both Chrome and Data Studio.
Recent SEO data missing	Google Search Console data may be delayed by up to 48 hours. Try excluding today and yesterday from your selected date range.
Only partial query or page data appears	Google Search Console applies row limits and anonymization for low-volume queries. Narrow the date range or use filters for more focused analysis.
