Also, it is not so clear when something is not good for Google and you know what to do. > > Very well most of the time, I like for being free and for provide so much valuable info, but the information that provides most of the time is not clear. ----- ### "Good product to track SERP positions" — 4.0/5 > **Kevin** | *19 November 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a great tool to measure what is happening in the Search results of Google without having to look manually for every keywords we target. > > **Cons**: Data is not always accurate; we can see different results between GSC and actual Google search results. Tips are limited. > > This is definitely helping us monitor our SEO positions, and it gives a good report that is actionable. ----- ### "Fantastic Free Tool that Taps right into Google's Data" — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *06 April 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that google search console is a direct line to google and its algorithm. I like to be able to see what keywords people were looking for to get to me. Being able to submit sitemaps and resubmit pages is extremely helpful. > > **Cons**: The thing that annoys me most is there are many times that it fails verifications for certain links, but really those pages should not be indexed anyway as they are a backend wordpress page or when it has an issue with 301 redirecting things even though this is correct. > > Google search console is fantastic especially for free. On wordpress it is very easy to use the google site kit plugin to set it up and get it going. Amazing data that gets you to a different place than Google analytics does. A must have if you want to submit sitemaps and see how people have gotten to your site from the google search. ----- ### "Looks nice, but is really an advertisement for lead generation software" — 3.0/5 > **Andrew** | *09 March 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it works, it greatly improves the chances of your company getting noticed. The security that Google provides is still top-notch. They also give some actual insight to Google's SEO while in the console. > > **Cons**: This product still remains cryptic. You still can't tell what how any changes are actually affect your SEO. The features are designed to point you towards purchase leads at a confusingly high cost. > > The design of Google's Search console is good, but leaves much to be desired. From a project management standpoint, I would hire SEO services out to someone who has a host of other tools that integrate with the console. ----- ### "Easy to use Search Console with lots of extra features" — 5.0/5 > **Daryl** | *19 October 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Always the best of the available search with very useful extras such as the panel showing location/opening times, and integration with other Google features such as maps. > > **Cons**: Sometimes tries to suggest things that are not relevant, especially with the new AI feature, and very occasionally some sites work better on Edge ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/210297/google-search-console?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/210297/google-search-console) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
