Data from Conductor Intelligence's integration appears in the Search Console Analytics and Pages reports. After you integrate Google Search Console with Conductor Intelligence:

The platform immediately collects and publishes your keyword data from up to the most recent 16 months in Search Console Analytics. Then, Conductor collects and publishes keyword data daily and adds it to the initial dataset it collected when you integrated. Conductor Intelligence retains all of this historical data for you to report on.
Page-level data in Pages appears with the rest of your page metrics during your next data publication.

You can create as many integrations as the number of web properties you've purchased to track in Conductor Intelligence. Additional integrations may be purchased. Contact your Customer Success Director to get access to creating additional integrations.
