Search Console Guide

Using Google Search Console as a primary source of truth.

Search Console exposes how Google actually crawls, indexes, and ranks your site. We recommend it as the first analytics surface for SEO operators.

Core reports

  • Performance: queries, pages, impressions, clicks, CTR, position
  • Pages: indexed vs. excluded URLs and the reasons
  • Sitemaps: submission status and discovery rate
  • Core Web Vitals: field data for LCP, INP, CLS
  • Enhancements: structured-data validation

How to use it

Cross-reference Performance with Pages to find indexed-but-not-ranking content, and to find ranking-but-not-indexed regressions.
