Fathom Google Search Console Data Not Showing
Quick answer
Search Console data in Fathom lags 2-3 days, so ranges ending today or yesterday look empty. Other causes are an expired authorisation, the wrong property, or viewing a public share link without a password.
Most likely fix: Pick a date range that ends a few days back
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Pick a date range that ends a few days back
- Change the dashboard range to end at least 3 days ago
- Check the Search Terms box again
