Google Search Console
Google Search Console (GSC) is an analytical tool provided by Google that records search data related to a linked website. As opposed to Google Analytics, which largely analyzes traffic once it’s on your site, GSC provides data on search results that provide impressions and click throughs to your site.
Search Console is also a tool that allows you to monitor pages on your site that have been indexed in Google’s system, and request indexing of individual pages. This can also be done on a sitewide level by submitting a sitemap to Google through the GSC system. The tool also provides information on possible errors or warnings related to site usability.
