Site Kit adsense won’t connect

Hi @tezartdesign, thanks for getting in touch!

Can you confirm that the Google account that is connected to AdSense is different than the account that you are using for Analytics, Search Console, and Page Speed Insights? If so, for the other, non-AdSense services, did you use this other (non-AdSense) email address for setup?

Can you also please share your Site Health information via this form so we can help to troubleshoot? Thanks!

Hello Bethany,

I’m pretty sure that is the case. I’m sorry for being unclear, I’m a bit new to this all.

When I go to analytics for example and click on the link Source: Analytics (bottom of the page) it redirects me to the page authuser-tez.art.design…. However, I don’t automatically get logged in.

My AdSense account is connected to lupine.essentials. (But sitekit won’t connect)

The search console does log in automatically, in the lupine.essentials account.

Page speed gives me no insights on the account but is properly connected to Analytics, which seems to be connected to tez.art.design.

I remember now, running through this all, that I have been messing around with analytics, because it was showing ‘popular content’ of other websites connected to my google adsense. It’s solved now, but I can’t remember what I did to make that happen. It might be that I made a new account specifically for this website, to avoid the mess. But in hindsight making it worse.
Could that be the cause?

Thank you!

I did some more digging:

– My google adsense ACCOUNT is connected to lupine.essentials, it has been for 10 years or so.

– LtL (the website) is connected to tez.art.design analytics
– LtL search console: I got a confirmation e-mail on tez.art.design. However, I get the exact same information when I switch between lupine and tez. (I have these two accounts connected so I can switch between one and the other with a few clicks).
– LtL page speed insights well, I can’t find any confirmation on where it is connected, no e-mails, no information on what it’s connected to. But as it works properly, I think that, just like the other things, it’s connected to tez.art.design, like it should.

So the real question is: Why does adsense keep me in the loop and doesn’t allow me to connect lupine.essentials? And how can I make it connect? Or should I be making a new adsense account with tez.art.design?

Thank you!

@tezartdesign Thank you so much for all of these details and no need to apologize – this is complicated!

In order to successfully connect your AdSense account (lupine.essentials) to Site Kit, you’ll first need to ensure that your other Google account (tez.art.design) is set up as an admin user on your AdSense account by following these instructions. This is because you need to be able to log in as an admin user to the AdSense account as part of the Site Kit setup process.

Once tez.art.design is set up as an admin user on your AdSense account, can you try going through the connection process via Site Kit again and see if you’re able to connect successfully? If not, let me know what errors or issues you’re seeing and we can take another look.

Hey Bethany,

thank you I’m one step closer. I added tez.art.design at payment profile (that’s where I was directed to by the online manual). Tried to run the site kit again, but this time it says I need to make a few corrections. That correction is to close the account on lupine.essentials. Still not what I’m looking for.

So it does recognize the other account now, but it tells me to close it. There is still something going wrong.
Sadly, google only tells me how to close the other account, and not how to connect sitekit to the existing one.

Thanks again!

Right, I was stupid, I used the wrong manual XD. So far it seems to work, I leave this thread open a little longer just in case I come across something else.

Thanks again!

@tezartdesign No worries! I’ll leave the thread open for now – just let us know if you encounter any other issues.
