Gain insights into your search data with Google Search Console!

If you're running a website, then you need to be using Google Search Console. This free tool from Google allows you to see how your website is performing in Google search, track your site's search traffic, and identify and fix issues with your site that may be causing it to rank poorly in Google search.

In this blog post, we'll show you how to set up Google Search Console for your website and explain some of the key features of this powerful tool.

  1. go to google.com/webmasters and sign in with the same Google account that you use to access your website's Google Analytics account.

  2. Next, click on the "Add a property" button and enter the URL of your website.

  3. Google will then verify that you own the website by sending a code to the email address associated with your website's domain name. Once you've received the code, enter it into the verification field on the Google Search Console page and click "Verify."

  4. You'll then be taken to the main Organic Search Console page, which will show you data about your website's visibility in Google search, traffic from Google search, and any errors or warnings that have been detected on your site.

  5. One of the most useful features of Search Console is the ability to track keyword data. To see this data, click on "Traffic" in the left-hand menu bar and then select "Search Queries." This will show you a list of all the keywords that people have used to find your website in Google search.

  6. You can also see how well your website is performing for each keyword by checking the "Impressions" column. This column shows how many times each keyword has been shown as a result for a particular search query. The "Position" column shows where your website ranked for each keyword when it was shown as a result for a particular search query.
