Adding a website

In SEO Perception, a website is created by linking your workspace to a Google Search Console property. You pick that property from a list after your Google account is connected—not by typing a separate URL in a second field.

Prerequisites

An SEO Perception account and you are signed in.
At least one connected Google Search Console account.
Room under your plan’s website limit. Counts and tiers are summarized in Tiers, pages, and data retention.

Where to go in the app

Open the Websites area at /websites. You should see a section titled Add New Website with the short description Connect a website to a Google Search Console property (labels may match your language).

Steps

Open the property control (placeholder text such as “Select a GSC property to add”) and choose the Search Console property that matches the site you want to track.
Confirm add (the primary action on that form). The app sends the selected property URL and linked account to the server.

Each option in the list is a GSC property Google exposes for your connected account—typically a domain property or a URL-prefix property. The exact strings come from Google; pick the one that matches how you manage the site in Search Console.

If the property list is empty or you cannot add

No Google account connected yet. The page may prompt you to connect Search Console first. Use /gsc-accounts and Connecting Google Search Console.
No properties in Google for that login. Add and verify a property in Google Search Console, then refresh or reconnect if needed.
All properties already added. Each Search Console property can only be tied to one website entry at a time in SEO Perception. If every property is already in use, the list may show a message such as that all properties are already connected—remove or adjust an existing site if you need to switch.
Plan limit reached. Upgrade or remove a site when you have used all slots for your tier (see Tiers, pages, and data retention).

Permissions and access errors

Google requires sufficient access to the exact property (for example Owner or Full user), and the property type must match what you expect (URL-prefix vs domain). If collection fails, the app may point you to reconnect in GSC accounts or to Google’s Search Console permissions help—follow that guidance for the Google account that should control the property.

After you add a website

Crawling starts for that site so SEO Perception can map URLs and technical signals. See How the crawler works.
Search Console metrics are loaded and stored over time; charts and summaries fill in as ingestion runs and according to your plan. See Search Console data in SEO Perception.
Manual “collect” or refresh of GSC data from the websites list is limited to once about every 24 hours per site for normal accounts (so automated and manual runs do not hammer the API). If a control is on cooldown, the UI typically shows when you can try again.

Exploration of crawl plus GSC in the UI is outlined in What you see on a website.
