How to check Google Search Console with Claude.

Claude cannot see your Search Console on its own. Add HexaHQ to Claude and connect your Google account to it, and Claude can tell you whether a page is in Google, when Google last crawled it, and how it is doing in search.

Checking Google Search Console with Claude: narrated, and captioned if you would rather watch it muted. Every step is written out below.
Before you start

What you need.

  • A Claude plan that can add a custom connector: Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise.
  • A free HexaHQ account.
  • A Google account that can see your site in Search Console, as its owner or as a user someone added to it.
Steps

Add HexaHQ to Claude.

  1. Add the HexaHQ connector to Claude. On Pro or Max you add it yourself: adding HexaHQ to Claude shows every screen. On Team or Enterprise an owner adds it first: adding HexaHQ to Claude Team or Enterprise. Come back here once Claude has signed you in to HexaHQ.
Steps

Connect Search Console.

  1. Ask Claude about a page on your site. Say you want to connect Search Console, and give it the page’s full address.
    A message to Claude: Connect my Google Search Console and tell me whether a page on the site is in Google, and if it is, how it's doing in search.
  2. Let Claude set Search Console up in HexaHQ. The first time, Claude asks your permission to add the ways HexaHQ reads Search Console for you, once for each. They only read. Click Allow once each time.
    Claude asking permission: Claude wants to use Author a capability from Hexa, showing a capability named List Search Console properties, with Decline, Always allow and Allow once buttons.
  3. Open the link Claude gives you. It is the one place you sign in to Google for this, and there is nothing to copy or paste.
    Claude's reply with a link reading Connect Google Search Console: it asks for read-only Search Console access in your browser; there's nothing to paste.
  4. Click Agree and connect Google. HexaHQ first says what it does with your Google information, then sends you to Google.
    The HexaHQ page explaining that HexaHQ will retrieve the Google information needed for your requests and provide it to your AI client, with Cancel and Agree and connect Google buttons.
  5. Choose the Google account that can see your site in Search Console. If you have more than one, pick the one you open Search Console with.
    Google's Choose an account screen, to continue to HexaHQ.ai.
  6. Tick View Search Console data for your verified sites, then click Continue.
    The line on Google's permission screen reading View Search Console data for your verified sites, with its box ticked.

    Make sure the box is ticked. Google lists each permission with its own box. Leave this one unticked and Claude cannot read your Search Console, and will ask you to connect again.

  7. Go back to Claude and tell it you have connected. HexaHQ shows this page once Google is connected, and you can close the tab.
    The HexaHQ page reading You're connected to Google: your account is linked and stored securely in Hexa, the assistant never sees your credentials, and you can close this tab.
Steps

Read the answer.

  1. Claude checks the page in Search Console and tells you what it found. Whether the page is in Google, when Google last crawled it, and how often it has appeared in search.
    Claude's answer: Yes, the page is in Google. Search Console reports it as Submitted and indexed. Google crawled it successfully a few hours ago using its mobile crawler.
What next

Ask the next question in the same chat.

Ask which searches a page shows up for, which pages get the most clicks, or why Google left a page out. The Search Console connection only reads, so nothing on your site or in Search Console changes. Everything Claude looked up is listed in HexaHQ’s activity log.
