How to use Google Console
Google Console, also known as Google Search Console, is a free web service offered by Google that helps you monitor and maintain your website's presence in Google search results. Here's how you can use it:
- Go to https://search.google.com/search-console/ and sign in with your Google Account.
- Add your website to Google Search Console by clicking the "Add a Property" button and following the prompts. You'll need to verify that you own the website by either uploading an HTML file to your website or adding a DNS record to your domain's configuration.
- Once your website is added, you can use the various tools and reports provided by Google Search Console to monitor and improve your website's performance in Google search results. Some of the things you can do include:
- Check for and fix crawl errors: Google Search Console can alert you to problems with your website's URLs, such as 404 errors, that could prevent Google from crawling and indexing your pages.
- Monitor your website's search traffic: Google Search Console provides data on the keywords that people are using to find your website, the websites that are linking to you, and the devices that people are using to access your site.
- Submit sitemaps and individual URLs: If you have a sitemap or have added new pages to your website, you can use Google Search Console to tell Google about them so they can be crawled and indexed.
- Test structured data: Structured data is a way to mark up your website's content in a way that makes it easier for Google to understand the meaning and context of your pages. Google Search Console provides a tool for testing your structured data to make sure it is correctly implemented.
