Setup Flow#

1. Open https://mybrandmetrics.com/ and sign in with Google.
2. In MyBrandMetrics, open Data sources.
3. Connect Google Search Console as a data source.
4. Wait until the Google Search Console connection is ready.
5. In https://mybrandmetrics.com/, get the MyBrandMetrics API key.
6. Install the clawbus-google-search-console skill.
7. Start a Google Search Console sitemap status workflow with natural-language instructions.

Workflow#

Use natural-language prompts after the skill is installed. Include:

• the Google Search Console connection ID, such as sc-domain:example.com;
• whether to list all sitemap rows or focus on a specific sitemap issue;
• the metrics to review, such as warnings, errors, submitted URLs, indexed URLs, and sitemap count;
• the dimensions to group by, such as site URL, sitemap path, content type, last downloaded time, and pending status;
• any filters or row limit needed for the analysis.

Example:

text

Check the Google Search Console sitemap status for sc-domain:example.com and summarize warnings, errors, submitted URLs, and indexed URLs.

Search-Friendly Workflows#

Common Google Search Console sitemap workflows include:

• list Google Search Console sitemap status rows;
• check sitemap warnings and errors;
• compare submitted URLs and indexed URLs;
• find pending sitemap records;
• review sitemap content type and last downloaded time;
• summarize sitemap health for a connected Search Console property.

Use The Script Directly#

Use scripts/searchconsole.py.

List sitemap status:

bash

python3 scripts/searchconsole.py \
  --api-key "YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --connection-id "sc-domain:example.com" \
  --limit 200

Use custom metrics and dimensions:

bash

python3 scripts/searchconsole.py \
  --api-key "YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --connection-id "sc-domain:example.com" \
  --metrics "warnings,errors,contents_submitted,contents_indexed" \
  --dimensions "site_url,sitemap_path,content_type,last_downloaded,is_pending" \
  --limit 100

Use an environment variable instead of passing the API key in the command:

bash

export MYBRANDMETRICS_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
python3 scripts/searchconsole.py \
  --connection-id "sc-domain:example.com" \
  --limit 200

Default metrics:

• warnings
• errors
