1. The Google Product Suite Products We Love To Use.

  • Google Analytics and Google Looker Studio.

2. We created the acronym PIESES (Performance, Indexing, Experience, Shopping, Enhancements, Security) to facilitate data interpretation from the dashboard.

  • Waddell and Herzberg go in-depth with the 'performance' tool 
  • These insights assist in content creation to drive more site traffic.
  • Index Coverage indicates which pages are visible on search engines.
  • Mobile usability is essential as most users access websites via mobile.
  • We discuss the importance of submitting a sitemap.
  • We identify the 'linking domains and internal links' feature.

    Today's discussion centers around leveraging Google Search Console for SEO. 

3. Other Notable GSC Insights:

  • Proposed changes to Google Search Console such as INP (Interaction to Next Paint)
  • Google Merchant Center for e-commerce sellers.
  • The importance of Security certificate (SSL) for site audits.
