I don’t see the Site Kit integration

There are two reasons the Site Kit integration is not available to you.

If you see the notification above in your Dashboard, it means that you don’t have the right user role to install, activate and connect Site Kit. Ask your site administrator to install and activate the Site Kit by Google plugin instead.

If you don’t see this notification, go to Integrations in the Yoast SEO menu. If the Site Kit by Google integration is not visible, the integration is not yet available for you. We kindly ask for your patience as we slowly roll out this integration for all Yoast SEO customers.

I don’t want to enable the Site Kit integration

If you don’t want to start using the Site Kit integration, you can disable the integration request temporarily or permanently. In your Yoast SEO Dashboard, click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the Yoast SEO Site Kit by Google section. Click Remove until next visit or Remove permanently to hide the card from view.
