great for SEO specialists to analyze website organic performance and helps fix issues regarding on-page SEO. It also helps track the performance of website pages and also the details on what keywords are ranking in which countries. The coverage also helps find out what technical issues there are on the web pages.

Google Search Console is the foundation for any website that you want to show up on Google. Having this helps you see what links your site is getting, clicks, impressions, keywords you're ranking for, any rich results you're ranking for, and the page experience for users.

I manage eight websites which are implementing the Google Search Console as a tool for keywords, analytics and SEO. Understanding the traffic information that this tool provides, helps me adjust SEO and plan ads.

Some of my websites have many pages so it's great to see how the individual pages appear in search results (ranking). This is important because every site owner wants their pages to appear in that magic number one spot and often don't understand that not everyone can be #1. Being able to see the keywords that people are using to get the results that they do.

For some of my site owners, they get it once they can see the data. Others need more help.

It is a free tool to get valuable information about general information about a website. The Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) is a kind of cockpit – a place where Google helps website owners better understand what's happening on their website and everything around it. More than that, it's an essential tool that can help you create the best possible strategy to promote your website and increase your visitors and traffic. It is appropriate for any company.

Google Search Console is helpful to understand what terms customers search for and click onto your website from. However, it's not helpful if you're looking for deep competitive insight on search terms people are using and how that impacts your website.

This is an essential tool for every website owner/manager. It's crucial to understand your site's performance in Google's organic search, and there's no more reliable source than directly from Google itself. Unlike other competing tools which might use estimates, this data is 100% verified. At the very least, you can keep track of your organic rankings, and then take things to the next level and drill down to identify under-performing pages which could result in a significant boost to your traffic with small, simple changes.

There are few cases where this type of tool isn't useful - such as for managers of internal websites and intranets - anywhere where organic search is not a factor.

Google Search console is an essential tool for web developers and SEOs, but it's less useful for individuals without technical knowledge or experience. In general, it's a helpful way for website owners to monitor potential issues on their site, but it's best used in collaboration with your web team so you can enlist help in evaluating errors and remediation.

Google Search console is great for analysing the incoming links and search traffic. You can easily find out if your website offers good relevance to the search users. It is not very well suited for app user behaviour or cases where the user is redirected to the app.

When you launch a website and in the first weeks of its life, the Google console should be your best friend with whom you can spend Friday evening catching optimization problems. Of course, there are a ton of other tools, but no one has canceled the basic problems and it is better for you to solve them together with the search system.

You need to understand that the Google Search Console is different than Google Analytics and that you really should use both of them together. Google Search Console offers more suggestions on how to improve your SEO. You can't have one without the other. Depending on who hosts your site, the host analytics might be better than what Google Search Console can offer.

Google Search Console is useful for gaining some insights into how your website is perceived by Google and interacted with by those using their search engine. You can get an idea of what keywords are being searched, who links to your site, and the pages that are receiving traffic. If you're using Google Analytics, you can connect the two to get more detailed information.

Given there is very little else that can provide these insights, it is necessary to use what is out there. While the Google Search Console does provide insights - there is nowhere else that can get this much - Bing has a few extra items, but it tracks Bing traffic which is much smaller

Search console must be integrated with every website as it is crucial to get a thorough keyword analysis of webpages. It helps in improving your click-through rate and fasten the process of your post getting crawled. Its Robots.txt settings is a bit complicated, hence avoid it if you are not a technical person.

Great for figuring out why people are coming to your website. You can use this data to improve the content you have and drive more traffic, leading to more conversions. Also, great for analyzing potential blocks that might be preventing Google from crawling your site as effectively.

Not so great for seeing detailed info about WHEN people came to your site and what they did there. Switch to Google Analytics for purposes like this. GSC is more for analyzing the "why" than the "how" or "when" or "where."

To be completely honest, every site owner or digital firm should be monitoring their Google Search Console. As a free service, there's no reason not to monitor it, and the information it provides is pivotal for good SEO and search performance in the modern era. Since most Analytics programs (including Google Analytics) do not provide a full list of keywords, Search Console can offer some additional insight into search performance.

Whether you are targeting search marketing or paid ads, Search Console will help you to be on the right path and align with your goals. It is a must and a few of the first things to do for any webmaster. I do not see any scenario where it is not suited because it is free and doesn't require any special attention. Website performance on the search engine is automatically tracked and reports can be used to optimize it.
