Google Search Console: how Google sees your website.
Search Console is Google’s free tool that shows which searches your site appears for, which pages are indexed and what errors Google has found. We set it up, submit your sitemap and use it to guide SEO work.
When we recommend Google Search Console.
Every website
Confirming Google can find and index your pages.
SEO
Finding queries where you almost rank.
Redesigns
Watching for problems after a launch.
Troubleshooting
Understanding a drop in traffic.
When we would choose something else.
Google Search Console is not the answer to everything. Here is when we recommend an alternative.
Visitor behaviour
It does not show what visitors do on the site.
Competitor data
It only shows your own site.
Paid search data
Ads data lives elsewhere.
