Overview

What Google Search Console is

Search Console exposes search performance, indexing information, sitemaps, and inspection tools for verified properties. Its API supports repeatable reporting. AI can help compare pages or queries, but the property, search type, date range, and data limits must remain explicit.

For a first workflow, choose the verified property, dates, and search type. Read the relevant report and preserve filters. Compare like-for-like periods and check indexing separately from performance.
