Google Analytics SEO Queries Not Showing

[amichaels]

Hi All,

This might be a silly question, but for all the properties I monitor in Google Analytics, I'm now showing no data for SEO Queries under Acquisition for the past 6 days. Normally I would expect a few day delay in queries, but nothing for 6 days is somewhat peculiar especially as it was functioning fine prior to November 12th. Does anyone have insight into what might be going on? Thanks!

I am seeing no search query data before Oct 22, 2015 in my Google Web Master and Google Analytics. Is anyone else facing this issue?

Please see image in the URL. Google Web Master does not let me set the data before Oct 23, 2015.

yes, here is Google offical tweet on  "For those of you who were waiting for a confirmation: Yes, the Search Analytics Data in Google SC in now back to normal. As I said:  Zineb Ait (@Missiz_Z) November 18, 2015"

Has this been fixed? We're still seeing a couple of clients who have zeros on their Google Analytics Queries report, but others that seem to be working fine.

When we look at these clients' Search Console reports we're also seeing nothing. The client I was just reviewing isn't getting a huge amount of search traffic, but it is over 500 search visitors a month. There should be something, right?

issue with webmaster tool (search console) and we should have this back soon - happened last week as well and then Google fixed it but its back and they are working on it.

i believe this is due to the issue with search console and this should be fixed by end of week, as per Google Tweet.

Thanks Ria!

Looks like that would be it. Thanks again and have a great day!

Maybe something to do with this:

Google are apparently working to fix the bug in Search Console with Search Analytics data, which would affect Google Analytics.

"An Update on the Search Analytics report in Google Search console

Data have been missing in Search Analytics since November 12th.

The team is aware of it and currently working on a fix.

It should be back to normal by the end of the week."

Thanks Dmitrii,

Yeah, looks like it's a broken connection between the two. Or  simply yet another change Google decided to make suddenly.

[amichaels]

Thanks Ria,

I've seen the (not set) for a bit now, but the absolute flatline with no data, not even (not set) since the 12th is troubling. So likely they've changed things up again or perhaps a bug? Thanks again!

Hi, Ria.

The subject in question is why number of impressions are being shown as 0. I understand that there are lots of queries which are being as not set now, but that doesn't explain the quantity of overall amount dropping to 0.

If you're seeing (not set), I suspect this might be the explanation:

https://www.seroundtable.com/google-analytics-seo-report-not-set-is-not-a-bug-21102.html

"In Search Analytics if you look at the numbers of the queries that you see there, you will sometimes see that we show a top aggregated, maybe a hundred queries, and in a table below if you add the numbers together, you might see 70 queries or something like that.

And the difference there is essentially queries that we filter out, and in Search Console we don’t show them separately and in Google Analytics they chose to call them Not Set.

So that is what you are seeing there, not something completely different, its not showing the difference that you’d have to calculate yourself."

Unless, they've changed things up again.

Hi there.

Surprisingly, it happens to me as well. I have no idea why this exactly happening, however, I do have a suggestion.

Simply go to Search Analytics section of Google webmaster tools (or as it's know now - Search console) and see all your data there. Google analytics is pulling all that data from GWT anyway, so, maybe there is a bug or new change in GA-GWT connections.

Hope this helps.
