1. Create a Google Cloud project

About 5 minutes. These APIs are free for normal reporting use.

1. Open the Google Cloud console, choose New project, sign in and create a project (any name, for example “TurtleReport”). Make sure it’s selected in the project picker at the top.
2. Go to APIs & Services → Library and enable each of these (search, open, click Enable):
   • Google Search Console API
   • Google Analytics Data API
   • Google Analytics Admin API

Business Profile APIs come later, only if you want them. See Business Profile.

Next: Connect your Google account.
