About association

An association is a connection between a Search Console property and an entity or property in another Google service.

The effects of an association depend on the type of thing being associated with your Search Console property. For example: a Google Analytics association shares your Search Console performance data with the associated Google Analytics property; an Android Play Store app association enables app indexing (when Google Search shows deep links into the associated app).

An association is requested by a user in another Google service, such as Google Analytics or Chrome Web Store. This request is sent to the owners of the Search Console property, who can approve or deny the request. Use Search Console to accept or reject association requests, see your current associations, and delete an existing association. The only exception is Google Analytics, where an association can be requested either in Google Analytics or in Search Console.

Example: Here is how to request association between a Google Ads account and a Search Console property. (Association is called "linking" in the Google Ads documentation.)

A single Search Console property can be associated with multiple other entities (for example, example.com could be associated with both a Google Analytics property and an Android app).

Read about association in your product's documentation to learn about all the benefits of association and how to request association with a Search Console property.

Managing associations

About the Associations settings page

The Associations settings page shows active and pending associations for all your sites. Active associations have been approved by you or another Search Console property owner. Pending requests are requests for association that have not yet been approved or denied by a Search Console property owner. When an association is removed, its history is lost.
