The Ultimate Guide to Google Search Console in 2023 [Guide]
HubSpot has published ‘‘.
Google Search Console (GSC) is a free tool that helps website owners and SEO professionals monitor their site’s performance in Google Search results.
It covers the following:
- What is Google Search Console?
- Adding your website to Google Search Console
- Setting up owners, users, and permissions
- Submitting a sitemap
- Understanding dimensions and metrics
- Adding filters
- Using GSC (26 use cases).
Aja Frost says, “Google starts tracking data for your property as soon as you add it to GSC — even before it’s verified you’re the site owner.
Verifying Your Site on GSC
Because GSC gives you access to confidential information about a site or app’s performance (plus influence over how Google crawls that site or app!), you have to verify you own that site or app first.
Verification gives a specific user control over a specific property. You must have at least one verified owner per GSC property.
Also, note that verifying your property doesn’t affect PageRank or its performance in Google search. Of course, you can use GSC data to strategize how to rank higher — but simply adding your website to GSC won’t automatically make your rankings go up.”
