We've just switched on something we're genuinely excited about: you can now connect Google Search Console to your Get Blogged websites. It takes one click, it verifies your site instantly, and it turns your real search performance into the most credible thing on your profile. Here's why it matters — whether you're a creator building trust, or a brand deciding who to hire.

For creators: proof, not promises

Every creator says their site gets traffic. Connecting Search Console lets you show it — with numbers that come straight from Google, marked as verified everywhere brands see you.

Verify your site in one click. No DNS records, no file uploads, no plugin. If your site's already in your Google Search Console, connecting your Google account proves you own it — and your website verifies instantly. It's now the recommended way to get that trusted checkmark.
Show Google-verified search stats. Your real search clicks, impressions, average ranking position and the queries you actually rank for appear on your media kit and alongside your proposals — labelled verified, not estimated. That's a different league of credibility.
Stand out in the proposal pile. When a brand is choosing between creators, "Google-verified search performance" is the kind of signal that wins the work. Your numbers stop being a claim and start being evidence.
Wear the badge. A Google verified badge appears on your proposals and your media kit — a small mark that says your reach is real.

For brands: hire on evidence, not estimates

Estimated traffic data is useful, but it's still a guess. When a creator connects Search Console, you get to see the truth — the actual performance Google records for their site.

See verified search performance. On proposals from creators who've connected, real clicks, impressions and average position sit right at the top of the SEO Insight panel — clearly separated from third-party estimates, so you always know which is which.
Know the traffic is real. A verified site can't inflate its numbers — you're looking at Google's own data. That's the difference between hoping a site delivers and knowing it does.
Match ranking to your campaign. You can see the actual search queries a creator's site earns clicks for — so you can tell at a glance whether their audience is genuinely searching for what you're selling, not just whether the site is popular in general.
Spend with confidence. When the reach is Google-verified, every hiring decision rests on evidence. Fewer surprises, better collaborations.

How creators connect (about 30 seconds)

Go to your website in My Websites or your profile, open the menu, and choose Connect Search Console — or pick it as your verification method when you verify a site. Sign in with Google, approve read-only access, and we'll automatically match your Search Console properties to your websites. Your verified stats appear shortly after. That's it.

We only ever request read-only access, only to the properties you own, and you can disconnect at any time from your settings. We use your Search Console data to show verified performance to you and to brands — nothing more.

Why we built it this way

Get Blogged only works if brands can trust what they see and creators get credit for the reach they've genuinely earned. Verified beats estimated, first-party beats third-party, and evidence beats claims. Connecting Search Console is the simplest way to put real proof at the centre of every collaboration — and it's live for everyone today.
