Google Search Console

Also called GSC, Search Console.

Google Search Console is a free Google tool that shows how your site appears in Google search and which searches bring visitors.

It shows the searches people used, your clicks, impressions and average position. It reports pages Google did not index, lets you submit a sitemap, and has a URL Inspection tool to check one page and ask Google to crawl it.

Set it up on day one, even with no traffic. It is where Google tells you which keywords you already appear for. Check it every Sunday for new searches and pages that dropped. Use Google Search Consolesoon to check each new page you publish.
