WHAT IS GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE?

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row color_scheme=”custom” us_bg_color=”#f4f4f4″][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Google Search Console – formerly known as Google Webmaster Tools – is a VITAL tool that all business owners and digital marketers should know and have. It’s a web service provided by Google that offers a wealth of tools and resources that allow you to monitor your site performance. It is also the only way that Google will ever share information about manual actions taken against your site and offer its suggestions for improvement. Being actively connected to and making daily use of the Search Console is one of the most important things any website owner should do.

And the best part is, Google Search Console is FREE.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_single_image image=”6805″ size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE FAQs

GSC verification methods

  1. HTML file upload: Upload a verification HTML file to a specific location of your website.
  2. Domain name provider: Sign into your domain registrar (like GoDaddy, eNom, or networksolutions.com), and verify your site directly from GSC or add a DNS TXT or CNAME record.
  3. HTML tag: Add a <meta> tag to the <HEAD> section of a specific page’s HTML code.
  4. Google Analytics tracking code: Copy the GA tracking code that you use on your site. (You need “edit” permission in GA for this option.)
  5. Google Tag Manager container snippet code: Copy the GTM container snippet code associated with your site. (You need View, Edit, and Manage container-level permissions in GTM for this option.)

In the traditional Google Search Console view, you’ll find this information by clicking on the Search Analytics bar in the middle of the page in the main dashboard.

A bit further down, you’ll see the list of all the keywords people found you with and the number of times someone has clicked on your link after searching each keyword.

By clicking on a particular keyword in the list and using the filter options in the top menu, you can go a little deeper to learn which pages show up for in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) for a specific keyword, what countries people are coming from when they search the keyword, and what devices they’re using.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How can I tell if my site’s been crawled?” tab_id=”1558760527298-0a5b0a70-c64b”][vc_column_text]

To see if your site has been indexed by search engines (Bing, Google, Yahoo etc), enter the URL of your domain with “site:” before it, i.e. “site:mystunningwebsite.com”.
The results show all of your site’s pages that have been indexed, and the current meta tags saved in the search engine’s index. If none of your pages appear, it means that your site has not yet been indexed.
