What Notra reads
Notra requests Google’swebmasters.readonly scope plus openid and email (to show which Google account is connected). It reads search analytics for one property you choose: query, impressions and position. It cannot change anything in Search Console.
Setup
1
Open the Prompts page
In GEO mode, open Prompts. The Google Search Console card reads “We read the queries your site ranks for and suggest the AI prompts people ask. Suggestions refresh weekly.” Click Connect Search Console.
2
Sign in with Google
Approve the request with the Google account that has access to your Search Console property within 10 minutes, before the link expires.
3
Choose a property
Back in Notra, the Choose a Search Console property dialog lists the properties your Google account can see. Pick the domain whose queries Notra should use and click Connect property. If the list is empty, add or verify the property in Search Console, then reconnect.

Review suggestions
The first sync runs right away, and suggestions appear under Suggested prompts on the Prompts page with the search queries behind each one, their impressions and best position. Click Track on a suggestion or Track all to add them to your tracked prompts, and dismiss the ones you do not want.
How suggestions are generated
- Notra pulls the last 28 days of query data for the property (Search Console data lags by about 3 days).
- It reads up to 2000 queries. Google returns them sorted by clicks, so the wider pull keeps high-impression queries that get few clicks.
- Notra drops branded queries and own-site lookups (login, careers, impressum). Category queries that only mention those words (“changelog generator”) stay.
- Up to 80 of the remaining queries go to the model, with a preference for queries the site shows up for but does not win. Notra also caps near-duplicate head terms.
- The model returns up to 15 prompt suggestions per sync, each citing up to 8 of your queries.
- The sync repeats every Monday at 06:00 UTC while the property stays connected.
Suggestions only become tracked prompts when you click Track, and the next sync replaces suggestions you have not tracked. Notra does not suggest prompts you already track or dismissed again.
Managing the connection
From the card’s menu on the Prompts page you can:- Change Search Console property. Your current property stays connected until you confirm a new one.
- Reconnect Google. This appears when Google access expired, and reconnecting with a different Google account clears the selected property.
- Disconnect. Removes the stored tokens and revokes Notra’s access with Google.
- Dismiss the card. Hides it on the Prompts page in this browser without changing the connection itself.
If the card shows “Not available on this workspace yet”, Google sign-in is not configured for your workspace, so contact support.
