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.

Why We Use Google Search Console

Actual Search Performance

Real clicks, impressions, and rankings directly from Google—not estimates. See exactly which keywords drive traffic and how positions change.

Indexing Monitoring

Technical Issue Alerts

Google alerts us to Core Web Vitals issues, mobile usability problems, security issues, and other technical problems affecting rankings.

Search Appearance Insights

See rich results, structured data errors, and how your site appears in search with featured snippets, FAQs, and other enhancements.
