How Google Search Console Helps To Improve Your Site Performance

Google Search Console plays a vital role in ranking a site. Without submitting your site it’s impossible to rank your site.

Now at this point, We will try to elaborate on how to improve your site performance.

Submit a sitemap.

Sitemaps enhance the ranking of a website in search engine results, thus boosting the SEO effort. Without an XML sitemap, you can not have a ranking on Google.

Many websites will automatically generate a sitemap for you. If it doesn’t you have to manually create a sitemap and upload it to the Google search console.

You can also use Yoast or RankMath as a WordPress plugin to generate a sitemap.

Keyword Research

You can check which keyword people are using to reach your site and check which page is showing in SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) for a specific keyword.

What countries people are coming from when they search the keyword, and what devices they’re using?

And you can see how different keywords fare in terms of clicks, impressions, and click-through rates.

Mobile Friendliness

Google Search Console will help you to check whether your site is mobile-friendly or not. If your site is not mobile-friendly they will show what to do and how to do it.

Check Broken Link & Site Security

A broken link will damage your customer. GSC will help you to find out the broken link and ensure site security.  

All you need to do is just click on the Security Issues option on the left-side menu.

If there is anything wrong GSC will let you know. And if they found any error Google will give the details on how to fix it.

Besides this, there are many more improvement tasks GSC will do for you.
