Mandatory tool for SEO professionals

I have been using Google Search Console for more than 5 years. This is a very accurate and reliable data source for SEO traffic. It helps you with four key metric - clicks, impressions, ranks, and CTR for each of the webpage that you have on your website.

PROS

1. Accurate insight of SEO traffic on a daily basis.2. Helps you understand ranks and CTR on keyword basis3. Helps you improve core web vitals

CONS

Gives you limited data of 1000 rows to analyze. Although, plugins are available to extract more than 1000 rows but they are paid plugins.

Google Search Console review

It's an essential tool for any SEO trying to rank in Google search results. Great reporting and an opportunity to dig deeper into the data to find hidden optimisation opportunities

PROS

Very easy to use, and all the essential data is there. Plus additional tech SEO areas too like Core Web Vitals, crawling stats and the URL removal tool

CONS

People also ask appearance can alter your average ranking position. I wonder if this could be labeled more clearly - you can drop 4 plus in average rank just because you moved from above to below the PAA boxes.More guidance and documentation on how page and query impressions differ.

Free and Simple to have a constant check on your website

Good software. It helps a lot to improve the SEO for the website but nothing is perfect it can get even better.

PROS

It is totally free. Keeps records of daily website views, analytics, clicks, search queries, impressions, and visually aligned graphs and charts. Displays accurate data and updates stats every few hours.

CONS

Not so easy to use for beginners and for new blogs or websites it does not keep a record for every click or website engagement. The software does not keep a record for every search query used by the user to go to the website. Filters could also be improved and are not so easy to use to filter out data.

A must-have tool to improve your website's Google Search results

Overall, it's pretty simple to configure Google Search Console and it can be extremely helpful in finding 404 errors or mobile usability issues. Different dashboards are available out-of-the-box and provide helpful insights, measuring different metrics (e.g. clicks, keywords ranking, views). I strongly suggest using Google Search Console for SEO and for automatic alerting whenever errors appear in your website.

PROS

It's a free and useful tool that Google gives to web developers in order to better understand and monitor your website's Google Search results. I find it extremely helpful that, whenever an error is found (e.g. mobile usability issues), some solutions are also suggested - if available - in order to immediately fix your issues.

CONS

No cons, but maybe some more advanced features could be added.
