Sync Your Google Keyword Data

Hey Quotekata.xyz,

In this guide, we’ll show you how to sync your Google keyword data with Statcounter and unlock the search terms and phrases visitors are using to find your website.

Keywords are the foundation of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and being able to track their performance is key to a successful content strategy.

Unfortunately, Google started withholding keyword data for organic search in 2011 so the majority of search queries coming from Google show a status of keywords not provided in analytics reports.
