Google Search Console is Google's official tool for webmasters. It's your direct line to Google's crawl statistics, indexing status, search performance, and technical issues affecting your site. Through GSC, you submit sitemaps, request indexing, fix crawl errors, monitor Core Web Vitals, and see which keywords your site ranks for and where. Search Console is foundational for SEO. It's where you detect problems before they damage rankings, crawl errors, indexing issues, security issues, structured data errors. And it's where you measure success: impressions, clicks, average ranking position, and click-through rate.
