The Google Search Console (GCS) provides the SEO practitioners and webmasters an easy way to check indexing status and optimize visibility of their websites.

Search Engine Land contributor Detlef Johnson has shared an in-depth article on effectively using the GCS.

says, “GSC opens to an overview of primary subsections: Performance, Coverage and Enhancements. This is useful for viewing click trends and defaults to a sensible, recent date range. Links to reports for each section will open individually.

Configure a custom date range to span years of clicks by opening the Performance report for more controls. Coverage shows indexing. Enhancements show Mobile Usability details, and will include AMP and Schema entities when detected. There’s also a new URL inspection tool.

The Performance report

Most SEO practitioners will want to examine data scoped out for making strategic decisions”.
