By linking Advanced Web Ranking with Google Drive, you can export essential data either automatically or manually to your Drive. This integration not only facilitates easy access and backup of your AWR data but also streamlines sharing with third-party marketing platforms like TapClicks, enhancing your ability to manage and analyze SEO performance efficiently.
How to enable the Drive sync
Go to the Connectors & API section in your AWR account.
Locate the Google Drive panel and click on Sign in with Google.
Follow the prompts to authorize AWR to access your Google account.
💡You can manage “Sign in with Google” permissions at any time by accessing the Third-party apps & services page while logged into your Google account.
How to upload AWR data to Drive
Once the connection between Advanced Web Ranking and Google Drive is established, you can choose from two upload methods: automatic or manual.
1. Automatic uploads
Setup of automatic uploads
In the Connectors & API section, select your preferred upload option (Upload exports after update or Override old exports), data types (Ranking, Visibility, Top Sites), and the projects for which you would like to upload the data for.
Click on Save Google Drive settings to enable automatic uploads.
The Upload exports after update option adds new data files to Drive after each ranking update, while the Override old exports option replaces previous exports with updated files.
Frequency of automatic uploads
Once the automatic uploads are enabled, AWR data will be uploaded to your Drive following the next ranking update which takes place for each of the selected projects. Further uploads will be performed based on the ranking update frequency chosen for each project. For instance, for daily scheduled projects the uploads will be performed daily, while for weekly scheduled projects the data will be uploaded once a week.
Uploaded data can be accessed from the My Drive > Recent section or the My Drive > Advanced Web Ranking folder, which is automatically created on your Drive with the first upload. Within the Advanced Web Ranking folder, separate folders will be created for each project, containing files for Ranking, Visibility, and/or Top Sites data.
2. Manual uploads
If you prefer not to enable automatic uploads or need to update data on Drive between scheduled exports, you can use the Export menu available in most AWR UI reports. This feature allows you to manually upload the desired data to Drive in either PDF format or as Sheets.
