How to set up the SEM dashboard in Claude

You need a Google Ads account and a Search Console property for the same site, a free Porter account and Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise for Claude Dashboards. Setup takes about 10 minutes.

  1. Connect Google Ads and Search Console in Porter

    Sign up free at Porter, open Data sources and connect Google Ads, then Google Search Console, picking the account and site for the same website. The Search Console to Claude tutorial shows each click.

    Porter's Select accounts window for Google Ads with a demo account

  2. Add Porter to Claude

    In Claude, go to Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp and name it Porter Metrics. Click Continue, then sign in to Porter and allow access.

Top 5 SEM KPIs to watch

Trailgear demo data · last 14 days vs the 14 before

  • Search clicks, paid + organic66,988+7.7%

    All the clicks search brings you. Check it before you judge either channel alone.

  • Paid share of search clicks47.2%−0.9 pts

    Rising share with flat total clicks means ads are replacing organic, not adding to it.

  • Cost on terms ranking top 3$2,1004 search terms

    Money spent where you already rank first. Test lowering bids here first.

  • Cost / conv.$46.57+0.1%

    A campaign far above your target is the first place to cut or fix.

  • Average Position14.61.2 better

    Watch the trend: a falling number means pages move up and may need less ad support.

How the numbers are calculated

Paid share
Google Ads clicks ÷ (Google Ads clicks + Search Console clicks).
Overlap
A Google Ads search term that matches a Search Console query exactly.
Ranking top 3
Search Console average position of 3 or better for that query.
Branded
Queries containing your brand terms, plus your brand campaign.
Change
(This period − previous) ÷ previous. Position shows “better” when it drops.

What makes this SEM dashboard different

What you get that Google Ads and Search Console can’t show you on their own.

  • See paid and organic for the same query

    Search terms and queries sit in one row, matched on the text.

  • Ask the next question in the same chat

    Spot paid clicks rising, then ask Claude which queries lost organic clicks.

  • Act on it after you approve

    Ask Claude to add a negative keyword or lower a bid. Porter asks first.

  • Compare any two periods

    Put the last 14 days next to the 14 before or last year.

  • Send clients a report on your logo

    Publish it in Porter and email it on the day you choose.

  • Share it without account access

    Anyone with the Porter link sees both sources.

What the dashboard includes

  • Paid, organic and total search KPI cards
  • Paid and organic clicks per day
  • Overlap and bid-candidate tables
  • Brand split, intent groups and campaigns
