Google Search Console supports linking X accounts to view search performance

Google launched the “platform properties” feature in Search Console in July 2026. Users can add Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube accounts as separate properties to view performance data for this content across Google Search, Discover, and other channels.

The linking method is: in Search Console, select “Add property,” choose the corresponding platform, and complete account authorization verification. Data usually begins to appear after several days, including metrics such as clicks, impressions, and queries. This feature is intended for account owners or managers and does not change the indexing or ranking of the content itself.

Public documentation and coverage from multiple outlets confirm that X has been included among the supported platforms. The link provided by the user points to the Search Console homepage, which matches the described feature entry point. Specific traffic data varies by account and must be checked in the console.

ABAB AI Insight

This feature expands Search Console monitoring from websites to social media accounts, allowing users to directly view clicks and query data for specific posts or accounts in Google Search. The authorization process is completed through platform login, without the traditional website verification method.

Public materials show that data usually appears several days after addition, and only reflects traffic from Google channels, excluding native platform statistics. Each account must be added separately, and some large accounts may be linked automatically. The currently supported platforms are Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube.

Key points to watch going forward include the actual scope of use for the feature, the frequency of data updates, and whether it expands to more platforms.
