# Google Search Console on Vortex IQ

> Monitor traffic, conversion and tracking integrity from Google Search Console, and catch instrumentation breaks before decisions are made on bad data.

Monitor traffic, conversion and tracking integrity from Google Search Console, and catch instrumentation breaks before decisions are made on bad data.

No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls.
