After connecting a network in NGAZE, it’s normal for data not to appear immediately. Most platforms require time to sync, validate permissions, and deliver usable data.
This article explains expected timelines by network, why delays happen, and when to be concerned.
Short Answer #
⏱ Most data appears within 24–72 hours after a successful connection.
Some insights require several days or weeks to become meaningful.
Why Data Does Not Appear Instantly #
Even after a network is connected:
- Platforms process data on their own schedules
- Some metrics update daily, not in real time
- NGAZE waits for verified, accurate data, not partial estimates
This protects data quality and reporting accuracy.
Expected Timelines by Network #
📊 Google Analytics (GA4) #
- Initial data: 24–48 hours
- Audience insights: 3–7 days
- Trend-based insights: 2–4 weeks
GA4 does not backfill all historical data instantly.
🔍 Google Search Console #
- Initial impressions & clicks: 24–72 hours
- Keyword trends: 7–14 days
- SEO insights: Improve over time with history
Search Console data is delayed by Google by design.
📍 Google Business Profile #
- Reviews & ratings: 24–48 hours
- Local visibility signals: 2–5 days
Some review platforms update once per day.
📈 Website Performance & Web Vitals #
- Performance scores: Within 24 hours
- Core Web Vitals: May take several days
Web Vitals depend on real user traffic, not scans alone.
📣 Paid Ads (Google Ads / Meta Ads) #
- Campaign data: 24–48 hours
- Performance trends: 3–7 days
Ad platforms often finalize data after the day ends.
🤖 AI Agents #
- Monitoring agents: Start within 24 hours
- Insight-producing agents: Require data history
Agents need inputs first, then outputs follow.
Why Some Sections Stay Empty Longer #
Some features require historical depth, including:
- Audience Insights
- SEO & OmniSearch trends
- Competitive Intelligence comparisons
- Monthly Reports
These improve as more data accumulates.
What You Should Do After Connecting a Network #
✅ Step 1: Confirm Connection Success #
Go to:
Settings → Integrations
Ensure the status shows Connected (not pending or error).
✅ Step 2: Do Nothing for 24–72 Hours #
This is important.
Repeated reconnecting can:
- Reset sync processes
- Delay data availability
- Create permission conflicts
✅ Step 3: Check the Right Location #
For multi-location accounts:
- Each location has its own data
- Confirm you’re viewing the correct one
✅ Step 4: Review After 72 Hours #
After three days:
- Refresh dashboards
- Revisit previously empty sections
- Check AI Agents status
What’s Normal vs What’s Not #
✅ Normal #
- Empty states for 1–3 days
- Partial data appearing first
- Some modules filling before others
🚨 Not Normal #
- No data after 72+ hours
- Integration shows connected but errors appear
- One location never populates while others do
When to Contact Support #
Contact support if:
- Data hasn’t appeared after 72 hours
- You connected the wrong account or property
- Permissions were changed after connection
- AI Agents remain inactive after data is present
