      I am completely stuck on one of my SEO accounts. In Search Queries (the OLD search), it is showing me that my client is ranking for keywords on pages that I know they are not ranking for. They are ranking for keywords in New Jersey when they are not New York. No where on the website do we say anything about New Jersey at all. So it makes absolutely no sense.

      Then in Search Analytics, the data seems to be much more accurate. All the New Jersey keywords are gone. But then the clicks are all ZERO! Which I know is wrong because they are showing up in Google Analytics.

      I have been at this for over a week now and I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to fix this. Anyone have any advice?

        For my accounts there is some 30%+ difference between google search console and the data in analytics.

        The only thing i can think of: Did you connect exactly the right profile? https or http? www. to non www?

          I am trying to gain knowledge on search analytic's beta - I have observed alot of discrepancies in data and at this stage unsure of what it all means.

          I have a large client who ranks for thousands of keywords - and they have lots of data missing for the keywords they have a low Clicks for.  I am not sure but I think google may have cut off the depth at which they collect data for on large sites. That said it is intermittent and I see it randomly.

          So still trying to get a clearer picture. I have also tried to find some articles on the exact differences - besides google statement "it is more accurate" - I cant find much. I do love the segmentation now.  Sorry I can't assist - but if you find out, please let us know.

            Hi,

            Can you just confirm the language.

            Search query - do you mean Google Webmaster tools/search console

            Search analytics - are you using Google analytics?

            I would expect most of the keywords data in GA to be missing due to not provided. Can you give me some more details?

            Craig
