12 Things I Learned About The New Google Console
I just watched the Wealthy Affiliate Live Training about the new Google Search Console.
Here are 12 things I learned:
- You need Google Console! It's your lifeline to Google, letting Google know every time you publish a new blog post
- Google Webmaster tools is now Google Search Console - same thing!
- Old versus new version - same data but different interface - more graphically oriented.
- Not all the old features have been carried over (yet) and not everybody has access to the new interface yet.
- To access - OLD: google.com/webmasters NEW: search.google.com/search-console
- To connect Google Console with All in One SEO - follow this training: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.co...
- Click on Search Property to see all your data when you log in.
- Bookmark new version when you get access as you cant reach it via the old version.
- You have to add a new site to the old version and then you'll be invited to the beta version - remember not everybody has access to it yet.
- Search analytics can show you what keywords you're ranking for per post you have written.
- Great for doing research on your own performance so you can create more new content.
- You can compare performance across devices e.g desktop versus mobile to check whether what you're doing to be mobile friendly is working.
If you want to know more I suggest you watch the recording. Here's the link for you to bookmark - https://my.wealthyaffiliate.co...

Thank you for the update! I missed the webinar tonight due to my computers acting out but, I am glad to see this post so, that I can look out for this training once it is released. Thanks for sharing.
It will definitely help to see the actual recording Lakisha.
It's usually up in a few days.

Thank you for all of the useful information on this video. I will be watching it for sure thank you again
You're welcome Melissa.
It all looks a bit technical until you get it all set up and start using it. Then it becomes quite exciting to get the feedback on your site.

This really sounds amazing and I can't wait to jump in. I just want to complete a couple of last task on my site before I tackle this one. Thank you again
Thanks for this post Mark, I have yet to watch the webinar and this a great primer.

Hi Andrew,
It will be well worth watching the webinar replay.
Google has not yet migrated all functions to the new version yet but it's helpful you already have access to the beta version.
That puts you ahead of some people who are still waiting for the roll out to be complete.

Thanks for the summary Mark. I had signed up to watch it but I got called away so will have to catch the replay tomorrow.
I'm a visual person hehe. I usually watch the replays even if I was there for live as I still find stuff I missed the first time. And you can pause the replay to take notes if need be.

Sounds pretty comprehensive, and I don't even hardly know a thing about the old version yet--I guess that works to my advantage though--sort of!
Thanks for the informative post!

Hey Jeff,
Yeah at least you are coming in as they are migrating the older version to the newer so if you can access the beta version it's a good idea to start using it.
