Google Search Console
Google Search Console helps site owners monitor and troubleshoot how their sites appear in Google Search. It indicates whether Google can find and crawl a site, helps address indexing problems, and supports requests to re-index new or updated content. Its Performance report groups clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and average position by queries, pages, countries, devices, search appearance, or dates. URL Inspection shows crawl, index, and serving information from Google's index. Alerts flag indexing, spam, and other site issues, and the service shows which sites link to a website. Reports also cover AMP, Core Web Vitals, and structured-data rich results. The free web service includes API access for management, testing, performance and sitemap data, filtering, sorting, and aggregation; the API does not support freeform SQL queries. Performance API data is limited to 50K rows per day per type per property, and API use has a quota. A valid Google account and a recent supported browser with cookies and JavaScript enabled are required.
