Every SEO should use Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to understand what are our users searching for before visiting or registering with the website. It also helps us understand if we are showing up for terms where we do not offer a satisfactory user experience.
- Link review for SEO.
- Search keywords and performance.
- Page experience monitoring.
- No detection dates on the incoming links.
- Mobile usability suggestions are not always helpful.
- Security issues are not listed - Just "no issues detected."

Reliable, easy to learn, and filled with great insights
Our entire organization uses Google Search Console to analyze crawl problems with websites. We can use this data to show clients what issues they are facing that may be preventing them from getting as much search traffic as they might be able to were those problems fixed. We can also use it to identify areas of opportunity based on what queries other people are searching to get to the client's website.
- Detailed insights on search query help us to identify areas of opportunity for clients.
- Great user interface makes working with GSC a breeze to learn.
- Ability to access discontinued tools allows us to use GSC our way, even when it's not necessarily what the devs intended.
- Some specific components can require more in-depth knowledge than may be expected by the average GSC user.

A Necessity for Site Owners and Digital Firms
As a marketing and web development firm, we utilize Google Search Console to improve and monitor our clients SEO performance. Google Search Console gives search analytics that are vital in tracking and reporting Organic search growth. It also shows which pages could perform better with some SEO changes, especially with metadata. Finally, the Search Console has some other tools, such as Change of Address, URL Inspection, and Robots.txt tester, that are very important to the web development and Search Engine Optimization process.
- Reporting on Search Performance: monitor, track and research your organic performance over time or compare time frames.
- Meta Data Testing and monitoring: make sure your product, events, AMP, and other meta tags are properly configured.
- Monitoring Security and Manual Actions: ensure that Google is not reducing your ranking for security issues or SEO errors.
- Producing suggestions for SEO improvements: Search Console provides links to resources to help improve the way Google crawls, indexes, and shows your website in search results.
- Reporting is strong, but could benefit from some additional functionality, such as sorting by % changed.
- Some functionality is lost in the "New" Search Console, forcing you to revert to the old version to get things done.
- Because the "Old" version doesn't have the same functions as the "New" one, you're forced to switch back and forth between both platforms to get many things accomplished.
- Many of the "Warnings" and Suggestions aren't very clear on how to fix the issue, or are vague in their explanation of what is wrong.
Our company uses Google Search Console to track our websites organic keyword rank. Along with analyzing any trends post-on page SEO tests.
Google Search Console is used by our Marketing department only, not our Sales team nor the Product Development team.
For us, Google Search Console addresses our organic keyword rank, any canonicalization errors, soft 404 errors, duplicate content, website crawling/indexing, and robots.txt file upload.
Google Search Console is used by our Marketing department only, not our Sales team nor the Product Development team.
For us, Google Search Console addresses our organic keyword rank, any canonicalization errors, soft 404 errors, duplicate content, website crawling/indexing, and robots.txt file upload.
- One of Google Search Console's strength is having a robots.txt file submission location. Rather than hoping Google finds the file, one can automatically submit for them to crawl, especially if changes are made often.
- Another major benefit to Google Search Console is being able to submit a sitemap by simply adding the /sitemap.xml into the Sitemaps tab and having Google crawl the website.
- Lastly, being able to see the organic keyword position is important to know if you need to create any content or add the keyword to the on-page SEO to move up the SERPs. Google Search Console shows position over time of keywords with their simple performance chart.
- As of recently, Google Search Console has switched to a new design interface and in the new design interface, it's extremely difficult to add new users to a property, along with find the rich snippets and schema tabs. On the surface, it appears that Google Search Console removed some features from the old design.
- Difficulty verifying domain... On multiple occasions, I have been revoked access to Google Search Console data and have had to re-verify the domain DNS. I follow the step-by-step process of verifying the domain and the results are very inconsistent. Sometimes Google Search Console recognizes the DNS update and the majority of the time it does not.

Google communicates to users through search console. 'nuff said.
I primarily use Search Console, however, I am trying to get others within my department to use it more as a data resource for site performance & troubleshooting. We manage several, relatively smaller sites that don't often encounter manual actions, but if something comes up, it's important we move quickly for our clients to address it.
- Performance analytics are much better than they were in the previous webmaster. Being able to go back 16 months to see trends forming has been really helpful to see where we are doing well & where we aren't.
- Sitemap submission is very easy. Literally, 1-2 clicks and you're done.
- Mobile usability feature makes monitoring very simple & clearly identifies any issues that needs to be fixed. Mobile user experience is really important to our business (and our users), so knowing how each of our clients' sites are doing on mobile is helpful.
- Features that are missing, in my opinion, are the ability to remove URLs, structured data, crawl errors, fetch as Google, and HTML improvements.
- I haven't encountered anything that is necessarily difficult to use. But there are a few features that are lacking in depth of details that I wish would provide more information. I would like to see when different bots crawl our clients' sites, such as the Google Smartphone.

Must-have Tool for Optimizing your Website for Google
We use Google Search Console to measure website organic performance for all our SEO and website development clients. We also use the platform internal to monitor and diagnose any performance issues for our own site. Google Search Console helps to monitor website health when it comes to crawl budgets, html issues, schema/structured data validation and organic search performance monitoring for clicks, impressions, CTRs and Average position for specific keywords and pages on site.
- High-level reporting on important factors that affect organic search position
- Easy to understand how Google indexes and crawls your site gives you an assessment on how most web crawlers are crawling your site
- Many tools to validate and optimize website performance with structured data, google data highlighter, AMP, re-index pages, sitemap verification
- Difficult to navigate new UI in 2018, prefer old version so I'm constantly having to switch back
- Can be challenging to work with if you're new to the platform and don't understand technical SEO, website optimization

Google Search Console (Google Webmaster Tools) - An Essential Part of Every Website.
Google Search Console and Google Webmaster Tools are being used by our marketing department. Verifying and analysing the data from Google Search Console is the first step in client acquisition.
You get the overview of your website's heath. This tool shows you major issues about the website and based on its findings your marketing department can create an SEO strategy.
You get the overview of your website's heath. This tool shows you major issues about the website and based on its findings your marketing department can create an SEO strategy.
- Get alerts about issues and learn how to fix them.
- Understand how Google sees your website.
- Optimize your website using AMP, mobile usability and rich snippets.
- Optimize your content with search analytics.
- UI/UX has recently changed and not for the better.
- The new Google Search Console relies on the old version, so sometimes you don't get all the data, unless you switch back to "old view."
- New Google Search console is not as fast or reliable as the old version and often shows issues when there are none.
We use Google Search Console to support our public-facing website within a single unit in our organization (though it may also be in use on other sites). It serves a few different purposes: identifying and solving Google indexing and crawling errors, tracking our organic search performance, and identifying and addressing optimization issues.
- Clearly flags areas where there are technical errors or "low-hanging fruit" we can address, such as duplicate title tags, security issues, or crawl errors.
- Provides an easy way to keep Google up to date on our content/site organization - for example, the ability to upload/update sitemaps.
- Offers sortable search analytics that allows us to determine if we're ranking for terms we think we should be, find unexpected search terms, or identify areas of underperformance. This helps us strategize around what content to create/optimize and potentially feeds into our paid search strategy.
- I'd like more instructions about how to respond to certain errors I see - it can be difficult to understand when you see a red error message what it really means and how to fix it.
- I'd appreciate warnings being 'ranked' somehow to understand what's really a big deal, and what might be a minor issue.
- Search analytics is helpful but not comprehensive - you can only go back so far in the data, and can't see all the search terms that are sending traffic to your site.

Google Search Console - finally updated!
I've used Google Search Console for all companies I worked for. It's a great FREE tool for tracking keyword positions, impressions, clicks and CTR and other metrics for your websites. The good part is that the ranking data is coming directly from Google (while ALL other tools pull it through Google's API).
- Rankings tracking for pages and keywords on Google.
- Impressions, clicks and CTR tracking for separate keywords and pages on Google.
- Comparing rankings, impressions, clicks, and CTR for different time periods.
- It shows information about recent Google and GSC updates on the graph.
- They used to have a limitation on how far back you can go with data (the limitation was 90 days), meaning you couldn't see data from 100 days ago. However, the new version (I think it's in Beta now) doesn't have this limitation anymore.
- Also, it's not possible to group keywords and pages and track performance for groups. Tools like Conductor Searchlight have this function.

Google Search Console Keeps My Sites Healthy
Google Search Console is used across my whole organization and my client base. I use it to find crawl errors, test structured data, check the links to and within my sites, and much more. Google Search Console helps me keep my sites healthy and findable on the web. I have Google Search Console connected to Google Analytics and to third-party tools like SEMRush to give me a detailed view of how my sites are seen and indexed by Google.
- 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.

Should be part of any SEO toolkit
Google Search Console is used by several teams across the whole of the organization. These teams generally sit within Marketing departments. The tool is used primarily by those involved in SEO efforts, but it has also proven beneficial for detecting user experience issues that happen to impact SEO such as broken links on websites.
- 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.
