(1-4 of 4)- The "new" SC's Overview is great for sharing with clients as it's a simplified presentation of different data with graphs.
- Performance is my turf. It is designed for me at a glance to recognize the peaks and valleys of traffic. Clicks v. Impressions remains something central to SEO and other marketing efforts.
- This is surely subjective, but as long as I could, I used the old SC but now that I am forced to just use the new, there still is a bit of a learning curve. Again, this is not a fair complaint as in time all will be forgotten, but I really do miss the old version.
- One thing I do not like is the loss of the Manual URL Submission. I understand why it's been removed, but sometimes I am doing refreshes of pages and want that new version visited and reindexed ASAP rather than have to wait for Google to revisit.

- ROI for me always boils down to time taken for any given task. SC allows me to quickly get the data I need to share, or at least glance at.

- Free to use, has low ROI
- Just the beginning of the funnel, mandatory to have a CRM to track how users came to the site
- Can provide useful ROI analytics, only in conjunction with other tools. Nothing in the tool itself is useful on its own.
Google Search Console Keeps My Sites Healthy
- Google Search Console lets me know if there are any crawl errors on my sites, so that I can fix them.
- Google Search Console tells me when I have errors in my structured data. This is particularly helpful, because structured data can be extremely intricate. It's nice to have Google looking at the whole thing while I'm lost in the details.
- Google Search Console helps me keep track of the links coming to my sites and the links within them. Both back-linking and cross-linking are necessary strategies for good SEO, so I appreciate being able to check them at a glance.
- Google Search Console can be difficult to use when you first start. There's a bit of a learning curve, but Google also does a nice job of providing training and help docs.
- As with anything that involves Google, I always wish that I could contact a human being when I have questions I can't answer or problems I can't solve. Unfortunately, contacting Google is next to impossible sometimes.
- Google Search Console does an excellent job of detecting errors in structured data, but it can be very difficult to find instructions for fixing those errors.

- Google Search console has helped my business achieve our objectives of increasing our online presence and findability.
- Google Search Console has also helped us to remain competitive within our market by adding structured data to everything from our job posts to our blog articles.
- Google Search Console has helped us increase our SEO and the SEO of our clients through quality back-linking and cross-linking strategies.
Should be part of any SEO toolkit
- Google Search Console is a good resource for learning which keywords are driving organic traffic to our websites. We realize that much of that data is actually not made available by Google, but even the data we get is worthwhile.
- GSC is also the primary method we use for submitting brand new or significantly revised pages to Google for indexing.
- GSC also helps us identify issues on our websites which impact not just SEO but also other areas.
- As mentioned, the keyword data available is far from complete. Like most people involved in SEO, I would love to see all the other data not shown.
- It's unfortunate that users can only look back at the last 90 days of data at any point in time. Fortunately we are able to integrate GSC with other tools that store this data for future reference.
- GSC does occasionally flag warnings that have been applied to our sites' presences in search results. Often, these warnings are unnecessary and GSC makes it possible to have them reviewed and removed, but it is annoying that unnecessary warnings are visible even for a short time.

- Since the tool is free to use, there is only positive impact to report - no negative!
- Our business objectives include organic traffic growth, and since we rely on SEO tools like GSC to achieve that growth, it's a great tool to have.
- Broken link reporting is also useful as a broken link might sometimes be to a page that is intended to generate revenue.
