Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe? What permissions does FastSEOFix get?

Yes, it's completely safe. We only request the minimum permissions needed: viewing and managing your Search Console data and submitting sitemaps. We use OAuth 2.0 (the same authentication method used by major apps like Gmail, Calendar, etc.). Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely. You can revoke access anytime from your Google Account settings.

Do I need to reconnect periodically?

No! Once connected, your tokens are automatically refreshed in the background. You'll stay connected indefinitely unless you manually disconnect or revoke access in your Google Account settings.

What if I don't have Google Search Console set up?

You can still use the basic sitemap ping method without any setup. However, we strongly recommend adding your website to Google Search Console even if you don't connect it to FastSEOFix—it provides valuable insights about how Google sees your site.

Can I use both the basic ping and the API method?

Yes! We recommend using both. The basic ping is great for quick submissions when you publish new content, while the Search Console API gives you better tracking and analytics. There's no downside to using both methods.

Are there any API limits?

Google Search Console API has a quota of 600 requests per minute per project, which is more than enough for typical usage. We track your daily API usage to help you stay well within these limits.
