## Troubleshooting

<Accordion title="I don't see my Search Console property">
  Make sure:

  * You're signed into the correct Google account
  * Your account has verified access to the Search Console property
  * The property is a URL-prefix or Domain property (both are supported)
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="GA4 connection shows no properties">
  Make sure:

  * Your Google account has at least Viewer access to the GA4 property
  * The GA4 property has been set up (not just a Universal Analytics property)
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Data isn't showing up in the Dashboard">
  * Check that the integration shows as "Connected" in Settings
