Google Search Console

Google Search Console↗ (GSC) is a free tool from Google that helps you monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot your site's presence in Google Search results. Unlike robots.txt or meta tags — which only give Google instructions — GSC provides feedback: it shows you exactly how Google sees your pages and where it runs into errors.

What it's for

GSC tracks both your search performance and your technical health. It lets you:

• See which queries bring users to your site
• Submit sitemaps for faster crawling
• Identify mobile-usability and indexing issues that could be hurting your rankings
