Lesson 5: Grant View-Only Access in Google Search Console
Google Search Console (GSC) is an essential tool for understanding how your website appears in Google Search. If you need to share access so someone (like us!) can review search performance and technical SEO insights — without making any changes — follow this quick guide. By the end, your Search Console will be set up for secure, view-only access in just a few minutes.
Go to Google Search Console and sign in with your Google account. If you manage multiple websites, select the correct property before moving forward.
In the left-hand menu, scroll down and click on "Settings". Under "Settings", look for "Users and permissions" and click it.
Click the "Add User" button in the top-right corner. Enter the email address digitalgrowthspring@gmail.com to give us view-only access.
Choose the correct level of access: Select "Restricted" — This allows the person to see search performance reports and data but not make any changes.
Pro Tip: "Restricted" access is the safest option for SEO audits and performance reviews.
Click "Add", and the person will receive an email invitation to access your Search Console data.
