# Search Console

> Your Google Search Console data, surfaced directly in Lantern.

If Google Search Console is connected, this page shows your full GSC performance data inline — no need to switch between tools.

## Metrics

| Metric            | Description                                          |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Total impressions | How many times your pages appeared in Google results |
| Total clicks      | How many times users clicked through                 |
| Average CTR       | Click-through rate across all queries                |
| Average position  | Your mean ranking across all queries                 |

## Tables

* **Top queries** — keywords driving the most impressions and clicks, with position and CTR
* **Top pages** — your best-performing pages with their query breakdown
* **Ranking distribution** — percentage of queries ranking in positions 1–3, 4–10, 11–20, and 20+

**Date range** defaults to the last 28 days. Change it to 7 days, 90 days, or a custom range using the date picker.

## Connecting GSC

If GSC isn't connected yet, the page shows a connection prompt.

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations**
2. Click **Connect Google Search Console**
3. Sign in with Google and select your property

See [Integrations](/settings/integrations) for full setup steps.

<Tip>
  Connect GSC before running SEO content agents. When connected, agents pull your actual ranking data and find keyword opportunities specific to your domain — making content plans far more targeted.
