Google Search Console Dashboard

Google Search Console Dashboard

 

Google re-branded Webmaster Tools into Search Console in 2015. Their intent was loud and clear. They took a platform from super geeky down to the layperson’s level overnight. They made it intuitive, easy to navigate, and fully searchable. They are now offering clear answers to SEO questions, which were vague (to say the least) prior to the Search Console.

This is Google’s main SEO tool and learning center. They re-branded it by purposely de-emphasizing the geeky word “Webmaster” so that they could attract the business owner to use it.

In fact, their home screen says it all: “We want to help you have a Google friendly site.”

How To: There are actually two tools offered here:

Google’s Company Philosophy

Google’s Company Philosophy

Below is an expert from Google’s About page under Philosophy. We thought we would share the #1 item they started off with.

“Focus on the user and all else will follow. Since the beginning, we’ve focused on providing the best user experience possible Whether we’re designing a new Internet browser or a new tweak to the look of the homepage, we take great care to ensure that they will ultimately serve you, rather than our own internal goal or bottom line Our homepage interface is clear and simple, and pages load instantly Placement in search results is never sold to anyone, and advertising is not only clearly marked as such, it offers relevant content and is not distracting. And when we build new tools and applications, we believe they should work so well you don’t have to consider how they might have been designed differently.”

Here’s another Google quote:

“…When Google correctly identifies these pages and is able to extract the relevant information from them, it is more likely to surface that information to searchers looking for the business.”
