description Google Search Console Overview
Google Search Console (GSC) is the essential, free tool provided by Google for every website owner. While it is not a direct 'competitor' to SEMrush in terms of competitive research, it is the most accurate source of data for your own site's performance, indexing status, and technical health. Every SEO strategy should start here. It provides critical information on search queries, click-through rates, and crawl errors that no third-party tool can match for accuracy.
It is the foundation upon which all other SEO tools are built.
