Your Organic Data Is Your Best Audience Research
Most marketers treat SEO and paid media as separate silos. Organic search runs on one team's dashboard. Paid campaigns run on another. The data never crosses over.
That's a mistake. Your Google Search Console data tells you exactly what people search for before they find your site — the queries, the intent, the pages that resonate. That's not just SEO data. That's audience research for your paid campaigns.
When you connect Google Search Console to Synter, your AI agent can read your organic search performance and use it to build, refine, and optimize paid campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and more.

What Synter Reads from Google Search Console
After you connect GSC with a one-click OAuth flow, Synter has read-only access to the Search Analytics API. Here's exactly what Synter can see:
| Data Point | What It Tells Us | How Synter Uses It |
|---|---|---|
| Search queries | What users type into Google before finding you | Keyword targeting for paid campaigns |
| Impressions & clicks | Which queries show your pages vs. actually drive visits | Identify high-impression, low-click gaps |
| Click-through rate (CTR) | How compelling your organic listings are | Find queries where paid ads can capture missed clicks |
| Average position | Where you rank organically | Prioritize paid coverage for position 4-20 queries |
| Page-level performance | Which URLs attract the most organic traffic | Use proven pages as ad landing pages |
| Device breakdown | Mobile vs. desktop traffic split | Set device bid adjustments in paid campaigns |
| Country-level data | Geographic distribution of searches | Geo-target ads based on organic demand signals |
Synter reads this data through the official Google Search Console API using read-only scopes. We never modify your Search Console settings, sitemaps, or URL inspections.
5 Ways Synter Turns GSC Data Into Better Campaigns
1. Keyword Gap Analysis
Synter identifies queries where you get impressions but few clicks — the classic "position 5-15" zone. You're visible enough that Google shows you, but not high enough to win the click.
These are ideal targets for paid search campaigns. The intent is proven (Google already shows your page for these queries), and a paid ad at the top of the SERP captures the traffic your organic listing misses.
// Example: Synter finds a keyword gap
Query: "ai advertising platform"
→ Impressions: 520/month
→ Clicks: 11
→ CTR: 2.1%
→ Avg Position: 8.3
Recommendation: Create a responsive search ad targeting
"ai advertising platform" with your /product page as
the landing URL. Expected CTR improvement: 8-12%.2. Proven Landing Pages
Your top organic pages already convert — they rank because Google considers them relevant and authoritative. Synter identifies these high-performing URLs and recommends them as ad landing pages instead of generic homepages.
A landing page with strong organic signals typically has better Quality Scores in Google Ads, which means lower CPCs and higher ad positions.
3. Budget Allocation Intelligence
If you already rank #1 organically for a query, do you really need to pay for clicks on that same term? Synter cross-references your organic rankings with your active paid keywords and flags overlap.
For queries where you dominate organically (position 1-3, high CTR), Synter recommends reallocating that paid budget to queries where you're weaker — maximizing incremental reach instead of paying for traffic you'd get for free.
4. Negative Keywords from Organic
GSC reveals the irrelevant queries that trigger your organic listings. If you sell enterprise software but GSC shows impressions for "free project management tool for students," that's a signal. Synter surfaces these mismatches and recommends them as negative keywords in your paid campaigns — preventing wasted spend before it happens.
5. Content-to-Campaign Pipeline
When Synter detects trending organic queries — terms gaining impressions week over week — it can proactively suggest new ad campaigns to capitalize on rising demand. Your content marketing efforts become a real-time signal for paid media strategy.
Connecting GSC to Synter
The setup takes under 60 seconds. Google Search Console uses the same Google OAuth you may have already authorized for Google Ads or GA4.
Go to Settings → Credentials
Find the "Analytics & Tracking" section on your credentials page.
Click "Connect" on Google Search Console
A Google OAuth popup opens. If you've already connected Google Ads, you may see a consent screen for additional scopes — just approve.
Select your property
Choose the website property you want Synter to analyze. You can connect multiple properties if you manage several sites.
Synter starts pulling data
Your connection shows as "Active" on the credentials page. Synter can now query your search analytics on demand.
# Technical detail: OAuth scopes requested
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly
# This is the minimum read-only scope.
# Synter NEVER requests write access to your
# Search Console properties.Real Workflow: From GSC Insight to Live Campaign
Here's what a real conversation with Synter looks like after connecting Google Search Console:
The entire flow — from insight discovery to campaign creation — happens in a single conversation. No spreadsheets, no exporting CSVs, no manual keyword mapping.
Cross-Platform Intelligence
GSC data doesn't just inform Google Ads. Synter uses organic search intelligence across every connected platform:
- Meta Ads: High-performing organic queries reveal audience intent — Synter uses these as interest and behavior targeting signals for Facebook and Instagram campaigns.
- LinkedIn Ads: B2B queries from GSC (like "enterprise marketing automation") inform LinkedIn targeting by job title, industry, and company size.
- Reddit Ads: Trending organic queries map to subreddit interests for community-targeted campaigns.
- Content Strategy: Queries with rising impressions but no existing page suggest new content to create — which then becomes a landing page for future paid campaigns.
