Google Search Console Guide

Google Search Console is a tool that caters to all the needs of webmasters. Using Google Search Console for SEO purposes is beneficial.

How to Register for Google Webmaster Search Console?
Adding a site to Google Search Console is quite easy. First, you need a Gmail account. Then, go to Search Console and sign in with your Gmail account. Click "Add Property" on the dashboard that appears. Enter your website address on the prompted screen to add it.


After the initial step, it asks you to verify that the site belongs to you. You can do this verification through 5 different methods: HTML tag, Domain name provider, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or file creation.

Verifying with DNS is the recommended verification method. You can verify by copying the code in the image and adding a TXT record to your DNS settings.


Features and Usage of Google Search Console
Google Search Console has many features. We will cover all these features, explaining what tasks they perform and how to use them.
Preview Page - Performance

We can define it as the main page of your site in the console. In this area, we see parts such as the number of clicks within the site, total impressions, average position, etc.
Sitemaps
Another tool used to guide bots on your site. With sitemaps, you can make it easier for incoming bots to navigate your site. Also, newly added content signals to Google through maps that there are innovations. You can submit the sitemaps you create from the "Add/test sitemap" section in the top right corner.


Mobile Usability
Arguably the most significant development of recent times is mobile compatibility; if you don't have a mobile-friendly website, you can't rank high. This area, which checks mobile compatibility, constantly monitors your site and reports mobile errors. In addition to approval of compatibility, it helps you by reporting possible errors.
Security Issues
If malware is detected on your site or if you are under attack, it will report from this area. Also, if your content is suitable for adults or contains violence, it is perceived as a security issue. You can view whether there is a security issue on your site from this area.

We briefly examined the most important parts. By adding your site to Google Search Console, you can rank high on Google's search results and grow your business faster.
