Google Search Console (new GWT) - Does a language specific sub folder need its own GSC profile
-
HI
I've got a clients site set which targets 3 language/countries:
English via the main site on the domain.com
Turkish via a Turkish language site on a subfolder domain.com/tr/
And German via domain.de
The devs have set up .com and .de in GSC and is reporting data in both
However there's no data in the domain/com/tr GSC profile ! Is that because its on a subfolder so data pertaining to it is being reported in the main domain.com GSC account ? Or does something more need to be done to set up the Turkish subfolder in GSC ? If so what ?
All Best

Hey Gianluca
Thanks so much for commenting again (this isn't the first time you have helped me out ) !!
Any ideas how i find out what else i need to do so the GSC populates with data ? There is a profile set up in GSC for all the language versions, its just the Turkish version (the only language version in a sub-folder) is not being populated with any data so must be something missing in the set up maybe/not properly completed, such as something required for properly finish the set up/integration of a sub-folders on GSC so that it shows data.
UPDATE - I have just seen that the GSC Turkish a/c im looking at is for a www version so if the Turkish language sub sites actually non www that will explain why im not seeing any data i presume ?
Re HTTP/s - The site was originally non secure so there is an older http profile for the main site/domain. Re www and non www - Weirdly the Turkish version is not www but the others are all on www. This was due to some reason the devs couldn't avoid (to do with domain mapping since on WP multisite the way it works forces it to have to be on the non-www. site as that is not used for anything else, apparently). BUT all site maps and canonicals were amended to HTTPS and all indexed pages and rankings are for pages that are the correct https and (www or non www) versions and has been like this since March when it was all set up, so presume shouldn't have to do more here in the various GSC accounts if that's the case ?
Many Thanks
Dan

Thanks Oleg !
Yes 'links to site' is of value to me (although i do have other link tools to see this info i like to see what Google is perceiving). But ideally as much of the rest of GSC data too, such as indexed pages etc etc

Any idea as to how i fix or find out how to fix ?

Yes, because if not you cannot geotarget the subfolders.
Rememover also to create the profile also for not www., and if you have also https, you must create also others 2 search console profiles for https://www.domain.com/es/ and https://domain.com/es/.
These are needed for telling Google your preferred domain version for indexing.

When did you set up the /folder/ property? I've used this to get more detailed backlink reports (as the "links to site report" is different when you enter a subfolder). What data are you looking to get?

Google Analytics goals by source report?
Hello everybody. Is there way in Google analytics to create report on what goals have been completed per each source? Example: Lets say I have 3 goals: Subscription, Purchase, Quote. How can I get report, saying something like this: google / organic - Subscription - 5 conversions
Reporting & Analytics | | DmitriiK
Purchase - 3 conversions
Quote - 10 conversions and so on. P.S. Basically, I want the reverse of standard Google Analytics goal completions report, where you can click on goal and see which sources/mediums completions came from. I'd like to do the opposite - "click" on source/medium and see which goals have been completed. Thanks0 -
No Search Data in Google Search Console (Search Analytics)
Wondering if anyone has experienced 0 data in their Google Search Console (Search Analytics) and found possible solutions to retrieve data? We have a few clients who, prior to the update to Google Search Console, were getting data regularly in terms of the Search Queries report, but ever since the update to Google Search Console, they are no longer receiving data. As an FYI, both the www and non-www versions of the website are verified in Search Console and the XML Sitemaps and Robots.txt files are clean, tested and working fine. Any insights or experience of sites showing 0 data in Search Analytics? Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Google Tag Assistant for Chrome
I'm using the Google Tag Assistant for Chrome, and I noticed something really weird. No matter what pages I look at, the same two GA tags show up. It's weird. You can see the tag that is "working", and then there are two repeats. For example, when I look at this page, I see the GA tag that is working and then all the remarketing tags. Then I see UA-36732895-1 repeated twice. Anyone have any idea what this is? Thanks!

Google Analytics Organic Search Keywords Suddenly Displaying FulL Urls
In my Google Analytics, the top keywords for Organic Search are suddenyl displaying full URLs. For example, now the third and fourth keywords are http://www.domain.com/highly-specific-URL. These have all started recently around the same day, July 12th. I've checked back, and we've made no internal changes to the site around that time that could affect this. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! P.S. It might be related to rich snippets, but I cannot tell at this point.

I need to whitelist the Google Analytics servers via IP Address. Any one know their server IPs?
Due to a walled garden situation, I need to input all the servers we should have access to via IP Address. We need to track the way our users are browsing within the garden, so I require all the IP addresses that Google Analytics would use. I tried googling it, but was not able to find any definitive answers. Thank you in advance, Heather
