SEO reporting tool: Search Console and GA4 give you two halves. Verand joins them per page.

No. The scopes it asks for are webmasters.readonly and analytics.readonly, which cannot write. It runs reports, stores the numbers against your pages, and never submits, annotates, edits or deletes anything in either account. Disconnect either one in Settings and the reading stops. What is read and where it is kept is set out on How Verand uses Google services.

The sync runs the moment you connect either account, and once a day after that. It pulls a 28-day window ending two days back, because Search Console's own reporting lags roughly two days and a window running to today would report a fall that is really just missing data. The charts on the tab read live from Google at whatever range you pick, from 7 days to a year.

Where a page loses people. Search Console ends at the click and Analytics begins at the session, so on their own you get a page that ranks and a page that converts with no way to tell they are the same page. Joined, one row shows 1,742,905 impressions turning into 24,174 clicks, and the stage that leaks is named and routed to the fix.

No, and the difference matters. Search Console's position is an average across the window, every device and every location, and it only covers phrases you already get impressions for. Daily positions for the phrases you choose come from keyword tracking. Keyword Tracking reads the results page itself, once a day, for one phrase in one country on one device, including phrases you do not rank for at all. This tab is free on every plan; tracked keywords are metered.

Either one fills the tab on its own. Search Console alone gives you queries, impressions, clicks, CTR, position, countries and devices. Analytics alone gives you visitors, engagement, traffic sources and conversions. The funnel card and the per-page join need both, and any card that cannot be drawn says which account is missing rather than showing you a zero.

No, only your site's own. A host on another domain, like a staging or preview copy, is always left out, and a subdomain, like your app, only if you choose to leave it out in Settings, which asks once about each subdomain the property tracks. Conversions still count from the whole property, because a sign-up or a checkout often happens on another host. When anything is left out, the tab names it and its sessions.

The markers are Google's confirmed ranking updates, synced monthly from its Search Status Dashboard into one shared table, so the dates are the same for every customer and cost nothing per site. Your own annotations are per site: a date, a change type from the list, a label and an optional note. Both render on the same axis, and both show up in the hover readout for that day.
