What do you dislike about Google Search Console?

The indexing speed. Some times after inpecting the url in inspection tool the google take more time than usual to crawl and index my new pages. If I am using self google tool not any third party tool then google should make it powerfull and should give it instant crawl capability so we can index urls much faster and then we do not need to run any google indexing api to index fast.

What problems is Google Search Console solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do not need any paid seo tools to find out the ranking keywords and to find out number of organic traffic and impressions. Its gie me data in absalutely free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Search Console?

Google Search Console provides the only authoritative view of how Google crawls, indexes, and ranks your site. Its interface is relatively intuitive, and if you know what you're doing, it can be pretty easy to navigate deep into an investigation with a few clicks.

There is a rich community of SEOs and webmasters who share content, participate in forums, and provide guidance.

Google offers numerous ways to implement access to tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Search Console?

Over time, Google has deprecated numerous features including the ability to suppress sitelinks. While the Search Console API exists, its technical complexity puts deeper data analysis out of reach for most SEO practitioners who lack data engineering expertise.

Customer support is non-existent.

Google offers numerous ways to gain access to tracking however none of them are easy for a novice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Search Console solving and how is that benefiting you?

Real-time crawl insights showing Google's interaction with our sites. This directly impacts both organic and paid search performance.

Technical SEO validation with first-party data. While basic in its interface, it remains the authoritative source for identifying and resolving search visibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Search Console?

I use Google Search Console daily in my life, we monitor around 25 websites currently via Search console and find it fairly simple to navigate and use, after the initial learning curve. I integrated Search Console into Semrush in order to aid the trcking of keywords and content for the websites and this was simple enough Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Search Console?

The learning curve for Google Search Console can be complex, as a user of Search Consle daily I have been able to learn more but initially the learning curve that matches using Search Console and it's layout and the way it interacts with the websites can be complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Search Console solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Search Console to monitor keywords and research newer data for the websites, this makes content creation simpler and means myself and my colleagues are more efficient at our jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Search Console gives you reliable data in real-time, connected directly to your website, further increasing its accuracy and reliability. For an average user, it is pretty intuitive and easy to work with. I really do think that new users might find it somewhat complicated at first since some of the features require prior experience to make full use of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Search Console solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Google Search Console; it helps me point out search crawl errors within seconds and gain important insights about client site performance.

What do you like best about Google Search Console?

The best thing about google search console is that its free. The value it provides is insane.

What search console does is, it shows how websites are performing in search results, how many clicks, impressions, CTR and what is the average position of the website.

It also help with technical seo - shows how many 404 pages are there. Basically, you can an idea of your website's performance with this single tool.

As an SEO guy, I am using this tool daily to monitor my website' performance. It's also very easy to integrate with other tools like - google data studio for visual representation of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Search Console?

I don't know as of now. I find this tool very usefull and there is nothing that I dislike at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Search Console solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me understand where my website stands when compared to other competitors. How many clicks I am getting, how many impressions, what is the CTR of the website.

This data helps me to strategize my tasks in a better way. It shows for how many and for which keywords my website is ranking for, which is super helpful.

I can also do an page by page analysis, which tells me what am I doing if you know how to analyze the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Search Console?

I liked crawl stats feature of google search console the most, where you can actually see latest pages crawled by Google and are divided in to various types based on status codes, type of pages, type of google crawlers, etc. You can also see various subdomains which are getting crawled and from there it can easily be analyzed how and what type of pages are getting crawled and if they have any crawling issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Search Console?

I dislike mainly the limit on number of pages which can be checked from Google search console, the limit of number of pages in any type of report is 1000 which is very less, especially for those websites which have high number of pages or are getting crawled more frequently. 1000 pages limit if fine for smaller websites with limited crawl frequency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Search Console solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps in identifying most common problems of crawling. As crawling of a website is the first step in SEO, it is if vital importance that the website is perfectly crawlable, as only after crawling Google can determine importance of a webpage/website. If there are problems in crawling then any efforts for optimizing it for search engines is a waste. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Search Console?

In Google Search Console (GSC), you get first-hand data on traffic, impressions, ranking positions and CTR directly from Google.

The best way to use (or feature) GSC is to see the impressions your specific page is getting on the SERP. This data is a goldmine for SEOs, as it can be useful for planning content strategy, content update, nad many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Search Console?

Google Search Console hides your website data such as the number of clicks and impressions that your website is getting.

Also, I found that the backlinks report in the tool is regularly not updated which lacks a lot of new backlinks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Search Console solving and how is that benefiting you?

Giving the first-hand data coming from Google (SERP). As an SEO, GSC is the first tool I use regularly to check the daily and weekly traffic insights along with CTR and impressions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
