GSC Review by Pronova Designs

5.0 last year

Pros:

It allows you to access and work with primary data about your website's organic rankings. This data gives a competivive advantage when it comes to keyword research.

Cons:

The interface could better and there should be an option to track groups of keywords and specific keywords.

Google Search Console is a must use

3.0 3 years ago

Comments: With Google Console, you can view which keywords are bringing in the traffic to your website and can optimize to start tracking keywords. The benefit when your links get indexed is you can start doing On-page SEO to start seeing your website positioning in the search engine.

Pros:

Integration of Google Console is quite simple and easy to use. Indexing is the most important function for me or any business that wants their website to display in the search engine and also the analytics it provides. When Google Analytics is linked to Google Search Console it becomes powerful if you understand how to use it.

Cons:

I don't like the new feature of Google Search Console when you submit your sitemaps to get links indexed. Google is not indexing my links to any of the new websites I'm submitting or even updating old links.

The most useful tool for a SEO and completly free

5.0 last year

Comments: I check Search Console multiple times every day to manage all my SEO projects. I also integrate its API with in house tools and services.An amazing tool that I would recommend to every SEO.

Pros:

Search Console offers SEOs a small glimpse into how Google wants us to measure and analyze websites. It's useful, it's feature rich and it's free!

Cons:

It has evolved a lot over the years and there's little to improve. I know it is free, but asking for bigger crawl logs would be amazing.
