Prerequisites: What You’ll Need

Before getting started, make sure you have:

• Bramework account with owner access (integrations require owner permissions)
• Admin access to Google Analytics (GA4 property)
• Verified Google Search Console property
• Qualifying subscription plan (analytics features included or active trial)

Don’t have these yet? No problem – we’ll show you what to do if you encounter any roadblocks.

Step-by-Step Integration Guide

Step 1: Navigate to Your Integrations

Getting to the right place is crucial:

1. Log into Bramework and look for your profile icon in the top-right corner
2. Click your profile and select “Integrations” from the dropdown
3. Owner access required: This menu item only appears for account owners

Can’t see the Integrations option? You’ll need owner access to your Bramework account to set up integrations.

Step 2: Start the Google Connection

On your Integrations page, you’ll see three integration options:

1. Find the blue button labeled “Connect Google Analytics & Search Console” (look for the globe icon)
2. Click to begin the connection process

Troubleshooting Tip: If the button appears grayed out with an upgrade message, your current plan doesn’t include analytics features. Consider upgrading to unlock AI-powered insights.

Step 3: Authorize Access Through Google

Bramework will redirect you to Google’s secure authorization page:

1. Sign in using the Google account that has access to your Analytics and Search Console

Back in Bramework, you’ll see immediate confirmation:

• The button changes to “Disconnect Google Account” (red)
• Your connected Google email is displayed
