The first sync
The first sync reads the last 28 days plus the 28 days before them for comparison, so it can take a few minutes. It is not a full history import.
Syncing runs in the background. You can leave the page; previous data stays available. If you started the sync, you'll get a notification when it finishes.
Later syncs
- Search Console syncs daily. The card shows Next scheduled sync.
- Google publishes final Search Console data about three days late. So the reporting window always ends about three days ago.
- If Google has nothing newer, the sync ends quickly with "Already up to date". That's normal.
- To sync on demand, select Sync now. Wait five minutes between manual syncs.
What the card shows
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Last successful sync | When data last arrived. |
| Last sync started | Shown until the first sync succeeds. |
| Next scheduled sync | The next automatic sync. |
| Data period | The 28-day window, compared with the previous 28 days. |
| Records imported | Rows from the latest sync: top queries, pages, devices and countries (up to 100 each). |
| Last failure | Shown while the connection has a sync problem: what happened and what to do. |
| Recent sync activity | The last few syncs and their results. |
While a sync runs, the card shows Preparing sync then Fetching data. If a sync takes much longer than usual, it keeps running in the background; select Refresh status to check again.
