Niched uses Google Search Console (GSC) as its source of truth for traffic. It's the only way to prove — to us and to creators — that your clicks are real, human, and coming from Google.
Step 1: Add and verify your property in GSC
If you haven't already, add your site to Search Console and complete Google's verification (DNS record or HTML tag). A Domain property (sc-domain:example.com) is best because it covers every subdomain and protocol.
Step 2: Connect it to Niched
On your site's page in Niched, click Connect Google Search Console. You'll authorize read-only access to your GSC data — we never write anything, and we only read click totals.
What we read, and what we don't
- We read: your trailing 28-day click count, to confirm eligibility.
- We never read: your queries, your Analytics, or anything write-level.
Step 3: Clear the threshold
A site becomes eligible to earn once it's GSC-verified and reporting 100+ clicks in the last 28 days. Below that? Keep publishing great content — the bar exists to keep placements landing on sites that actually reach people.
If GSC can see the clicks, so can Niched — and so can the creators paying for reach.
