Install Site Kit by Google on WordPress
To start enjoying Google Site Kit in your WordPress installation, it is very simple since you just have to go to Plugins> Add new.
Write Site Kit and you can now install and activate this all-in-1 plugin.
When you activate it, on the side of your WordPress you will have a new option called Site kit.
To enjoy this tool, of course, you need to be registered in Google Search Console and Google Analytics with a Gmail account.
Thanks to that Gmail account you can link the Google Site Kit tool with all those tools in 3 easy steps.
Let’s see how it is configured.

Once the plugin is installed and activated, an installation window will automatically appear.
Site Kit will guide you in 3 steps to configure your options.
The first window shows you a tab that you can activate if you want to provide data to the tool and that it can improve.
Click Start Configuration.
Let’s see the steps to follow.
That’s it, now you have associated the tool with the Google Search Console and you can see data, but you can also integrate Analytics or Adsense for example so that you have everything from the dashboard of your WordPress.
Site Kit Settings
In the Settings option, you can see the connected services or you can also associate the other tools offered by the Site kit.
The process is the same that we have been following so far.
For example, if we want to associate Google Analytics in WordPress we will click on “Connect service”.
In the same way that before we will be giving permissions at the click of a button and in a few seconds you will be able to enjoy the Google analytics tool in your WordPress administration panel.
If you have more than one analytics account associated with the same email, select the one on the website to integrate.
The process for the rest of the tools (Google Adsense, Page speed, Tag Manager or optimize is exactly the same).
