Google Search Console: Six Reports Worth Checking Every Month

Search Console is free and shows how Google sees your website. These six reports deserve a monthly look.

Google Search Console shows how your website appears in Google Search and flags problems that can quietly cost traffic.

1. Performance

Clicks, impressions and the searches people use to find you. Look for pages gaining or losing visibility.

2. Pages (Indexing)

Shows which pages Google has indexed and why others were excluded. Important pages missing from the index need attention.

3. Sitemaps

Confirm your sitemap is submitted and processed without errors.

4. Core Web Vitals

Highlights pages with slow loading or layout issues, reported separately for mobile and desktop.

5. Security Issues and Manual Actions

Rarely populated, but critical when they are. Hacked content or spam can remove pages from search results entirely.

Shows which sites link to you and your most linked pages. Unexpected spammy links can be a sign of a compromised site.

Make It Routine

Fifteen minutes a month is enough to catch most issues early.
