Google Search Console

Google's free tool that shows how your site performs in search results and helps you fix technical SEO issues before they hurt traffic.

What is Google Search Console?

Google Search Console is Google's free dashboard that shows you exactly how your site appears in search results and what technical issues might be blocking your traffic.

It tells you which queries bring people to your site, which pages Google can't crawl, and alerts you when something breaks.

Most builders check it weekly to see what's ranking, submit new pages for indexing, and catch crawl errors before they tank traffic. You can also see which pages have good Core Web Vitals and which ones need speed work.

Completely free. Set it up by verifying your domain through DNS or adding an HTML tag to your site.
