Overview

Yes—contentbird’s analysis works even if only one of the two Google services is connected. However, you will only have access to limited data.


Data from individual services

🔌 Google Analytics
If only Google Analytics is connected, you’ll get:

  • number of visitors

  • bounce rate

  • time on page

  • other user-related metrics

👉 Focus: traffic & user behavior


🔍 Google Search Console
If only Search Console is connected, you’ll get:

  • keyword rankings

  • impressions

  • clicks & CTR

👉 Focus: SEO & visibility


Important note

Rankings are only displayed if there are impressions within the selected time period.


Limitations when using only one service

  • No complete view of content performance

  • No connection between traffic and rankings

  • Limited ability to evaluate ROI and overall performance


Recommendation

For a complete analysis, you should combine both services:

  • Google Analytics → user behavior

  • Google Search Console → search performance

👉 Only the combination enables a holistic evaluation of your content.


Conclusion

contentbird analysis can be used with just one Google service, but it will only show part of the picture.
For well-informed, data-driven decisions, it’s best to integrate both data sources.
