Google Search Console
Google Search Console is a free web service offered by Google that allows website owners to monitor their website's performance, health, and visibility within Google's search results. It provides essential data on crawling and indexing status, Core Web Vitals performance, and traditional search metrics.
Why It Matters
While the transparency of AI Content Ranking is largely opaque compared to traditional search, GSC remains a vital tool for technical SEO. It ensures that the foundation of a site is sound and crawlable for all types of search engine bots, including those that power generative AI.
How We Use It at Soprano
We use GSC not just for keyword tracking, but as a health monitor. We check it weekly to ensure no technical errors are blocking AI bots from accessing our clients' content.
