When to choose Google Search Console?
-
You are launching or redesigning a site
Submitting the sitemap and tracking indexing avoids finding out three months later that Google ignores half your pages.
-
Your Google traffic is falling
Search Console shows which pages and searches lost clicks, and since when.
-
You want to know what works
The real queries that bring visitors guide the next content to write.
-
You want a healthy website
404 errors, redirects, mobile issues and speed: alerts arrive before visitors complain.
When Google Search Console is not the best choice
Search Console does not tell you what visitors do once on your site (pages viewed, quote requests): that is Google Analytics' job. Nor does it show your competitors' keywords: a tool such as Semrush or Ahrefs is better suited for that.
What we build with Google Search Console
Set-up and verification
Domain verification, sitemap submission, access given to the right person.
Fixing indexing
Review of excluded pages, error fixes, redirects, canonical tags.
Monthly monitoring
Clicks, impressions, rankings and pages on the rise, summed up in a few clear lines.
Migration without losses
During a redesign or a change of address, redirects are monitored to keep your rankings.
Google Search Console: taking over what is already in place
A property created by a former provider you no longer have access to, an outdated sitemap, hundreds of pages excluded with no explanation: we recover access (domain verification), separate normal exclusions from real problems, and fix whatever stops your important pages from being indexed.

Frequently asked questions: Google Search Console
No, it is completely free. You only need to prove the site is yours, usually with a record added to your domain name.
There are many reasons: redirects, duplicates, pages that are too recent or judged not useful enough. Not every exclusion is an error; we sort out what is normal from what needs fixing.
Search Console shows what happens before the click, in Google's results. Analytics shows what visitors do once on your site. The two complement each other.
Yes, we recommend it: Bing also powers ChatGPT search, Copilot and DuckDuckGo. Bing Webmaster Tools can import your site directly from Search Console.
