Your site is live. Google is starting to crawl it. Now connect real search data so Wire can tell you what is working and what is not. This lesson is part of the workshop sequence and feeds directly into improving your content.
Before you start
You need a Google Search Console account with your site verified. If you do not have one yet, go to search.google.com/search-console and add your site. Verification takes a few minutes.
You also need to set up API access so Wire can pull data. Tell your agent:
Help me set up Google Search Console API access for Wire. I need a client ID and client secret.
Your agent will walk you through creating a Google Cloud project and OAuth credentials. This is a one-time setup.
Tell your agent
Pull search data for my site and run a full audit. Tell me what needs attention.
What happens
- Wire connects to Google Search Console and downloads your ranking data. Every keyword, every page, every position, clicks, and impressions.
- It stores this in a local database (
.wire/gsc.db). This costs nothing and runs in seconds. - Wire audits your site against the search data and gives you a report.
What the audit tells you
The audit groups issues by priority:
- Cannibalization. Two pages compete for the same keyword. Google cannot decide which one to rank, so both lose. Wire recommends merging them.
- Thin content. Pages with fewer than 300 words rarely rank. Wire flags them for expansion.
- Missing metadata. Pages without descriptions or with titles that are too long lose clicks in search results.
- Dead pages. Pages that get zero impressions after weeks. Consider merging them into stronger pages or removing them.
The audit is free. No AI credits, no API calls. It reads the data that is already in your database.
