The thing I like most about Google Search Console is the new AI feature that lets me ask about any day or any performance-related question, and it shows the graph. Another very useful part is being able to see which keywords people search for. The indexing controls are also very good—when we update prices, we don’t need to wait for Google to find the changes. Mobile alerts are helpful as well.

For the cost, it’s perfect. Other SEO data providers are paid, but this is completely free. The page-wise data is very useful too, because it helps me see which pages are trending and which are not. Overall, there are many features, and most of them are good. It also allows me to add the sitemap, which is a great feature, and through it Google can find all my pages automatically. The Core Web Vitals report is also very useful, so we can monitor whether the loading speed is good or not, which helps us improve the customer experience. The page-wise report is helpful for checking which pages get the most visits and impressions and which get less, so we can improve the SEO. Most importantly, it lets me check Security and Manual Actions to confirm whether my website is secure—meaning whether it’s safe or hacked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, the features are good, but the data updates aren’t fast. I often need to wait 2 to 3 days. The filter shows 24 hours, but many times it only provides partial data, and then after 2 to 3 days it updates correctly.

Also, it doesn’t save the data completely; it saves only 16 months of data. It’s not a big problem because 16 months is enough, but I think it should be 24 years at least. The indexing controls are good, but the validation takes approximately 36 hours.

As a travel business, we need prices to be updated, but because of the partial results, many times when we update it has an immediate impact on our new offers. Most of our customers use mobile, so we need to view the data with a mobile filter, but there is no option to set mobile as the default. I think they should provide default settings.

As a developer its very important for me to list my website on google, i.e indexing, Process is very simple, for example Adding a property, its very easy to add and verify using Text DNS records, it checks and give live time approval. Checking how many clicks my particular website got to sending montly reports about my domain on mail i.e Monthly report. It makes User work very easy, Every month i receive my all domain reports with clicks, intraction increased/decreased and very minor but important things like no of click from partiular link. One more important thing is SEO, it helps a lot by helping to add the keywords which my customers are using to search my domain/site like 'Queries leading to your site',,this helps a lot to track. Giving proper reports of Performance Domain wise like 24hours,7 Days,28 days etc. very easy in this busy world to track. URL Inspection plays a very vital role, in short all the options which are available in Google Seacrh console are very usefull and very user friendly, Each and every option is used some or the other day. Love it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Auto Crawling is very slow,after making the required changes we have to wait for certain time period to get it updated, little more automation is required if user is verified, it saves a lot of time & one of the biggest isssue is Old reports, If Google can Give 15GB of free drive storage, it should also save older data, for Example today its 9 April 2026, i cannot access my performance report before 10 April 2024, this is a majour drawback, to track long term performance some alternative should be there. Not always sometimes Google takes more time to get the required thing done, not always, in some casses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like all the parts of Google Search Console, such as the page performance reports, indexing report, and core web vitals. These features are super helpful for maintaining my website's online presence because they make it much easier to spot issues and fix them. The performance report helps me find indexed and deindexed pages so I can work on indexing them through validation. Core web vitals help me identify the shortcomings of my website that might be affecting the loading speed. Also, I found the initial setup to be too easy, which was great.

I wanted it helpful if Google Search Console could provide the latest website reports instead of 02 days old data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free, direct from Google, and shows exactly what's happening with indexing, search queries, and real backlinks no estimates, just first-party data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data is delayed by a few days, the Links report only shows a sample rather than every backlink, and historical data only goes back 16 months which limits long-term trend analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I value most about Google Search Console is how powerful and accessible it is for technical SEO analysis. The performance report’s filtering capabilities are incredibly flexible, especially with regex support, which allows for highly granular query and URL analysis at scale. This makes it easy to segment data by patterns, uncover trends, and identify optimization opportunities that would otherwise be hard to detect.

I also appreciate how intuitive the interface is despite the depth of data it provides. Features like indexing reports, coverage insights, and enhancement reports (like Core Web Vitals and schema-related issues) make it a go-to tool for diagnosing technical SEO problems and monitoring site health. It’s one of the few tools that gives direct insight into how Google actually sees and processes your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Google Search Console is incredibly valuable, it does have some limitations. The biggest drawback is the data retention window. Historical data is limited, which makes long-term trend analysis difficult without exporting data regularly.

Additionally, the interface can feel restrictive when working with large datasets. While regex helps, there’s still no native way to build more advanced queries or combine multiple dimensions in a flexible way like you would in tools such as BigQuery. Sampling and data discrepancies can also be frustrating when trying to reconcile performance metrics across platforms.

Finally, reporting and automation capabilities are somewhat limited, requiring external tools or APIs to scale workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Google Search Console gives direct data from Google, so it’s really useful for checking search performance and finding technical issues. I mostly use it to monitor clicks, impressions, indexing, and keyword performance. It’s simple, free, and helps me quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Google Search Console can feel limited compared to paid SEO tools, especially for deeper competitor or keyword research. The data can also be delayed a bit, so it’s not always fully real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the Core Web Vitals feature in Google Search Console. It helps us know what aspects we have to optimize in our website, such as speed, which is important for ranking higher. It points out which pages we need to work on, allowing us to optimize them and consequently improve our website's performance. Also, the initial setup is super easy, especially with the DNS setup.

So currently, they are not providing the feature of AI citations or AI mentions. So that can be added, like, what kind of exact AI citations and mention we are getting. So that data, if we can get, then I think it will be a very good tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Google Search Console's ability to compare keyword performance on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis and provide crawl statistics. Crawl statistics allow us to see if there are any issues on the website, helping us improve SEO. I find the keyword statistics valuable, as they let us know which keywords to invest more in and where we are performing well or weakly, which is useful for client reporting and when creating content for SEO. The setup was very easy, and it integrates well with other tools like Google Trends, enriching our strategic planning by allowing simultaneous trend data comparison for the keywords we're working with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Search Console can only export 1000 rows of data in coverage reports, which is limiting. The data export capability for keyword statistics is also very limited. When using BigQuery to back up this data, we can get more keyword data, but this requires creating separate reports. Additionally, the data pool only retains 16 months of data.

This is a staple tool in my SEO/Web tool belt. It integrates with Ahrefs, Semrush, and just abotu any other platform you may use. The UI may take some getting used o, but they don't change it often and can easily become second nature. It's free, which is of course nice. It also has dependable organic data that you can reference and use in a number of ways. Setting up can sometimes be troublesome, but the use value of this tool makes it worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue is that navigating the UI and knowing everything it can do takes a lot of time. If you're job depends on knowing organic performance of your website or pages, however, then it's a learning curve worth adapting to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Google Search Console because it clearly shows which keywords bring traffic and highlights issues like indexing or errors, so I can fix them quickly. The simple dashboard and real-time insights make it very useful for improving visibility. As an SEO Analyst, I rely on Google Search Console to make quick, informed decisions. I appreciate how it shows performance trends over time, which helps me understand what’s improving and what’s dropping. The coverage and enhancement reports are especially useful for prioritizing fixes, so I can focus on what actually impacts rankings. It also helps me validate changes after updates, which gives me more confidence in my SEO strategies. The initial setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It only provides around 16 months of historical data. For long-term analysis and year-over-year comparisons, this isn’t always enough. Having access to more extended data history would make it much more useful for deeper insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
