Big news for webmasters and SEOs: Today at SMX Advanced, Google announced they will be adding Google Webmaster Tools data directly within Google Analytics. This was also announced simultaneously on the Google Analytics Blog and the Google Webmaster Blog.

Not only that, but you can also use this data to create deeper reports through the advanced reporting features. So you can compare impressions to clicks to conversions directly from the search results.
Google added analytics data to Webmaster Tools a little while ago, but continued to add useful webmaster reports to Webmaster Tools. Now that data is coming to Google Analytics, making Google Analytics a lot more powerful.
