What Vendo Syncs
Performance Reports
Vendo queries the Search Console API to make 6 performance report variants. Each variant has a different dimension breakdown:
| Report | Dimensions | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| By Date | Date | Daily trend analysis |
| By Page | Date + Page URL | Page-level performance |
| By Query | Date + Search Query | Keyword analysis |
| By Country | Date + Country | Geographic performance |
| By Device | Date + Device Type | Mobile vs desktop breakdown |
| Custom | Date + Page + Query + Country + Device | Full-detail analysis |
The Custom report is off by default. It can make a large dataset.
Metrics
Each performance report includes these metrics:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Clicks | Number of clicks from search results |
| Impressions | Number of times your pages appeared in search results |
| CTR | Click-through rate (0.0–1.0) |
| Position | Average ranking position in search results |
Metadata Streams
| Stream | Description |
|---|---|
| Sites | Verified Search Console properties and permission levels |
| Sitemaps | Submitted sitemaps with status, errors, and content details |
Authentication
Google Search Console uses OAuth 2.0.

- Vendo refreshes the token automatically when it expires.
- Vendo stores and manages the tokens securely.
Setup
- In the Vendo app, go to Apps and click Add App.
- Select Google Search Console from the catalog.
- Click Connect to start the OAuth flow.
- Log in to Google and authorize access to your Search Console properties.

Data Freshness
Google Search Console data has a delay of 24–48 hours. By default, Vendo syncs the latest available “final” data and does not include incomplete or provisional results. Thus, the metrics are stable and do not change on later syncs.
Verify Setup
- After you connect, make sure that the app status shows Active.
- Make sure that search performance data appears in your Vendo BigQuery dataset.
- Compare the click and impression totals with the Search Console dashboard.
- Make sure that all report variants (by query, page, country, device) have data.
- Examine the Vendo job logs for sync activity and errors.
