Google Search Console (GSC) is a free tool from Google that allows you to take your site’s presence on Google Search. It provides valuable data on how Google views your site, including information on search traffic, mobile usability, and issues that might affect your site’s on-page SEO and performance in search results. GSC also offers performance tracking metrics, like the amount of traffic to your website, impressions, click-through rate, and your average search position.
You can also use GSC to submit your sitemap to Google, which helps Google understand the hierarchy of pages on your site and rank it accordingly.
