What Search Console data does Peekaboo show?

Peekaboo surfaces top queries and landing pages with clicks, impressions, CTR and average position for the connected property and date window. Available rows still follow Google Search Console privacy and row-limit rules.

Does Search Console measure visits from ChatGPT or Perplexity?

No. Search Console measures performance on Google properties. Use GA4 or another session analytics system for identifiable third-party AI referrals, and keep that referral measurement separate from AI-answer observations.

Why can the query rows be lower than the Search Console total?

Google can omit anonymized queries and truncate row tables while retaining those observations in property totals. Filters, property scope, canonical aggregation and date boundaries can also change the comparison.

Can Peekaboo change my Search Console property?

No. The integration uses a read-only OAuth scope. You choose which accessible property to connect, and you can disconnect it from Peekaboo.

Which Peekaboo plans can connect Search Console?

The current connection requires a paid plan above Starter. Confirm the current plan catalog before purchasing because packaging can change.

Search Console can show that a topic has real demand. It cannot show whether an AI answer recommends your brand for the same need. AI visibility alone cannot tell you whether the topic matters in Google Search.

What the Peekaboo connection brings in

First-party Google Search performance, connected to the same brand you track in Peekaboo.

Top queries with clicks, impressions, CTR and average position
Top landing pages with the same core Search Console performance metrics
Intent labels and query-to-prompt workflows for prioritizing observed demand
A selected Search Console property attached to the authorized Peekaboo brand

Connect, select and investigate

1
Authorize read-only access
Start from a Peekaboo brand on a paid plan above Starter. Google asks you to approve the Search Console read-only scope.
2
Choose the matching property
Select the domain or URL-prefix property that represents the brand and site you want to analyze.
3
Sync queries and pages
Peekaboo stores the returned query and page metrics so the workspace can load them without calling Google on every page view.
4
Compare the evidence
Use observed search demand to prioritize prompts and pages, then inspect AI visibility separately before deciding what to change.

What each dataset can and cannot tell you

Google Search Console and Peekaboo measure different parts of discovery
Dataset	Use it for
Google Search Console	Google Search result impressions, clicks, CTR, average position, queries and landing pages for the connected property.
Peekaboo AI visibility	Stored prompt observations, mentions, ranks, citations, sentiment and competitors across supported AI search experiences.
Used together	Finding topics with observed search demand and an AI visibility gap. A shared movement is a lead for investigation, not proof of causation.

Search Console data-quality boundaries

Google says Search Console performance data is normally available after two to three days, so recent dates can be incomplete.
Some queries are omitted for privacy, and row tables can be truncated; visible query rows may not sum to the property total.
Property scope, canonical URL aggregation, filters and time zones can all change a comparison.
Search Console does not report referral sessions from third-party assistants such as ChatGPT or Perplexity; use session analytics for that workflow.

Read-only means read-only

The OAuth connection requests Google Search Console read access. Peekaboo can retrieve the properties and performance data the authorizing Google account is allowed to view; it does not edit your site, change indexing settings, submit removals or alter Search Console configuration through this connection.
