Overall Satisfaction with Google Search Console

We use GSC to get our content on the SERP. It helps us index, track, and troubleshoot indexing issues, in addition to providing site insights. Our scope of use is indexing, tracking, analytics, and troubleshooting. GSC helps us fix the content problem with efficient tracking and feedback on content indexing rejections. Because of GSC, we have managed to rank at the top of the SERP, mostly on the first page. It also helps us understand which content is working, which keywords are ranking, etc.

Pros

  • Search insights.
  • Tracking traffic from different sources.
  • Reporting

Cons

  • It is very complicated to use, a better interface might be a good addition.
  • GSC and GA have some overlap, maybe merge them.
  • It's free to use, so any impact is highly positive.
It's very important for getting ranked on SERP; your search visibility is your strength when it comes to SEO and digital footprint. No one can do it better than GSC, considering it's the in-house product of the search engine used by more than 95% of internet users.
It's a product from the same team as the no. 1 search engine. It's free, so there's no burden, and you can use it for as long as you want and for as big a company as possible. Others are very expensive, and data can be inaccurate sometimes. Google Analytics serves a different usecase altogether.

Yes

Did implementation of Google Search Console go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Search Console again?

Yes

It's suited for all use cases, but for big companies, the data might be crippling, so an add-on tool to analyse the data would be a good companion for GSC to solve this issue. Therefore, I think it's suited for any use case with some add-ons and companions needed for analysis.
