Overall Satisfaction with Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console (GSC) to check which keywords are driving traffic to our website, check our average rankings, make sure pages that we want to be indexed are being indexed, and making sure pages that we don't want to be indexed are not, fixing errors, checking to make sure our schema markup is working, and monitoring core web vitals. These tools help us determine what's working for SEO, what's not working, and address any issues that pop up.
Pros
- Gives you a sample of keywords associated with actual clicks to your website
- Is user-friendly and easy to create reporting
- Contains explanations around definitions making it easier for new users to understand
Cons
- Full access to keyword click data is not available
- While you can see the source URL for where Google found a particular URL, it doesn't tell you where on the page it's finding it
- Lookback window should be longer for Performance reporting
- GSC gives us invaluable insights into our SEO which in turn generates us revenue, we don't have hard numbers but it is key to our SEO strategy
GSC does not give you as much information as a paid tool, but it does give you direct clicks to keywords which these other tools have no way of knowing.
