A free tool from Google to monitor the technical "health" and SEO of your site.

The big plus: Google sends you a direct alert in the event of a problem (bug, hacking, page not found).
The benefit: Improve your ranking by correcting the mistakes Google doesn't like.
If Google Analytics tells you what people are doing on your site, Google Search Console (GSC) tells you what's happening before they arrive.
This is the official communication channel between you and the search engine.
For an executive or marketing manager, it's like having direct access to Google's brain to find out whether it likes your site or is encountering obstacles.
Free and indispensable, Search Console is your best radar for controlling your SEO (natural search engine optimization) and ensuring that your digital storefront remains open and welcoming 24 hours a day.
You don't have to be a code expert to benefit from Search Console.
It answers very concrete questions for your business: Which keywords attract my customers? You'll discover the exact expressions that Internet users type to find you.
It's a goldmine for finding out how well your communication is aligned with actual searches.
Is my site properly indexed? GSC shows you whether Google has "registered" all your pages.
If an important page is missing, you'll know immediately.
Is the mobile experience good? The tool tests your pages and alerts you if a button is too small or the text is difficult to read on a smartphone.
This is crucial if you don't want to lose 50% of your visitors!
Why is it your site's number 1 security tool? Search Console
It alerts you by email if:A technical error occurs: A page suddenly cannot be found (Error 404) or a server problem.
Your site has a security problem: If Google detects malware or a hacking attempt, it alerts you before your visitors are affected.
You've received a penalty: If your SEO practices no longer comply with the rules, Google explains why and how to put things right.
How to get started (and why it's easy) Installing Search Console
