Connecting Position Tracking with Google Analytics

Connecting Position Tracking with Google Analytics

Position Tracking can import keywords directly from Google Analytics into a Position Tracking campaign so you can track improvements for keywords you want to improve rankings for.

Position Tracking is one of our most popular tools in the Projects section. It allows you to track daily keyword rankings on any device in any location worldwide. This tool can provide you with organic or paid keyword data. Campaigns can be centered around a domain and up to 20 competing domains.

For each added competitor, you can measure visibility %, estimated traffic, and average position for all of the target keywords.

By importing keywords directly from your Google Analytics, you can ensure that Semrush is gathering data on every keyword your website ranks for on Google.

You can add keywords you wish to analyze when creating your Position Tracking project. You have five options to provide keywords:

  • Manually
  • From another campaign
  • From Keyword Strategy Builder 
  • From Semrush suggestions (reports)
  • From a TXT or CSV file
  • Importing from Google Analytics
  • Importing from Google Search Console

During the setup process, you can connect Google Analytics to your tracking campaign on the second step of the configuration (Keywords). To initiate the connection, select “Google Analytics” from the “Import from” drop-down in the Position Tracking Settings window. Then click on “Connect Google Analytics account.” A pop-up will appear, allowing you to grant access to your Google Analytics account.

 

Position Tracking configuration menu Keywords section shows that you can connect a Google Analytics account by clicking the Import from button in the top-right corner and selecting Google Analytics.

After connecting your account, you can select the data source to import keywords from your Google Analytics account.
