Troubleshooting

"Connection Expired"

**Cause:** OAuth token expired (after ~1 year inactive)

**Solution:**

Click "Reconnect"

Re-authorize

Should resume immediately

"No Data Syncing"

**Possible causes:**

**Permissions revoked** in Google

- Go to Google account → Security → Third-party apps

- Check if WeeklySEO is listed

- Re-grant permissions if removed

**Property removed** from GSC

- Verify property still exists in GSC

- Re-verify if needed

- Reconnect in WeeklySEO

**API quotas exceeded** (rare)

- Wait 24 hours

- Contact support if persists

"Wrong Account Connected"

**If connected wrong Google account:**

Disconnect current connection

Reconnect with correct account

Historical data remains from old account

New data from new account

"Can't Authorize"

**If authorization fails:**

Ensure pop-ups not blocked

Try different browser

Clear cookies and cache

Disable browser extensions temporarily

Contact support if persists

Security Best Practices

Review Integrations Regularly

Monthly audit recommended

Disconnect unused integrations

Check "Last synced" dates

Verify permissions still needed

OAuth Permissions

✅ Only grant what's requested

✅ Read WeeklySEO's permission details

✅ Verify you're on official WeeklySEO domain

✅ Check browser address bar (weeklyseo.io)

❌ Don't grant more than requested

❌ Don't use on public/shared computers

❌ Don't ignore permission warnings

Revoking Access

**From WeeklySEO:**

Settings → Integrations → Disconnect

**From Google:**

Google Account → Security

Third-party apps with account access

Find WeeklySEO → Remove access

**Both work**, but disconnecting from WeeklySEO is cleaner.
