The reasons why Google Analytics and Search Console data do not match.

Google Analytics and the Search Console data will not match and both are different. Since each platform addresses a different set of issues so we can’t even say that one is better than the other. Because of that, GA (Google Analytics) and GSC (Google search console) take different approaches to collecting the data.

Let’s start with Search Console, It is only counting the clicks in Google search results and it uses query logs to track the user clicks. Search Console performance data must be used to understand whether you’re displaying for in search and the results of those appearances. whereas Analytics is counting clicks from all the organic sources. This is one of the main differences between the GSC and GA.

The second point is that Analytics is using a tracker installed on your site to count that means Google Analytics uses a user’s clickstream (also called a click path or click log) and harvests the session data from there. Their goal is to collect as much data about that user as possible. The tracking code is a script that you place on your site so it can record each and every movement of your visitors. This data can help you to improve your website and make it more attractive for them to visit.
