It provides brilliant insights about organic search results, and helps you to manage page indexing (seeing which pages have been indexing, fixing issues for pages that aren't able to be indexed, etc.) > > **Cons**: I wish that you could see data beyond two years ago; I'm not sure why you can't see this data; because you can in Google Analytics, for example. ----- ### "Essential Part Of Any SEO Campaign" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *15 June 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Search Console gives data that GA Analytics just doesn't have. It focusses on organic traffic and it has the vital sitemap submission feature. It allows you see how well each page in your site is doing as well as identify any new phrases which are getting impression/ clicks and thus add/adjust your website content to focus on it more. Plus it is "free" and it integrates with most SEO software. > > **Cons**: It's good, no complaints. They do occasionally drop off functiosn which were useful but much less often than their other platforms (Ads and Analytics) > > I wouldn't do an SEO campaign without it\! ----- ### "Great tool to positioning your websites" — 5.0/5 > **Roger** | *30 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once you learn how to setup an account, becomes so easy to use and also helpful to be able to see how your website is performing on Google Search Console. > > **Cons**: Sometime gets to much time to get an answer when you want to index pages or fixed issues. Also, it is not so clear when something is not good for Google and you know what to do. > > Very well most of the time, I like for being free and for provide so much valuable info, but the information that provides most of the time is not clear. ----- ### "Good product to track SERP positions" — 4.0/5 > **Kevin** | *19 November 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a great tool to measure what is happening in the Search results of Google without having to look manually for every keywords we target. > > **Cons**: Data is not always accurate; we can see different results between GSC and actual Google search results. Tips are limited. > > This is definitely helping us monitor our SEO positions, and it gives a good report that is actionable. ----- ### "Fantastic Free Tool that Taps right into Google's Data" — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *6 April 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that google search console is a direct line to google and its algorithm. I like to be able to see what keywords people were looking for to get to me. Being able to submit sitemaps and resubmit pages is extremely helpful. > > **Cons**: The thing that annoys me most is there are many times that it fails verifications for certain links, but really those pages should not be indexed anyway as they are a backend wordpress page or when it has an issue with 301 redirecting things even though this is correct. > > Google search console is fantastic especially for free. On wordpress it is very easy to use the google site kit plugin to set it up and get it going. Amazing data that gets you to a different place than Google analytics does. A must have if you want to submit sitemaps and see how people have gotten to your site from the google search. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/210297/google-search-console?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/210297/google-search-console) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
