Google Search Console for Performance Tracking
Direct insights from Google on how your site performs in search
What is Google Search Console?
Google Search Console (GSC) is Google's official tool for monitoring and maintaining your site's presence in Google Search results. It's the source of truth for how Google sees and ranks your website—providing data directly from Google rather than third-party estimates.
GSC is essential for understanding actual search performance, identifying technical issues Google finds, and monitoring indexing status. It's the first tool we check when diagnosing SEO issues.
