    Does Google search console help you?

    I am using Google search console (Google webmasters tool) for some time. At first i thought i'm doing something wrong, then i tried to learn more about GWT and how to use it. But lately i really have to say that it provide very inaccurate details and stats, specially since i connected it with Google analytics, where i have one situation in analytics and different in GWT.
    Many important details don't even appear in GWT like website is completely unknown, while analytics show some movements. So i am really thinking to give up on losing my time to play around with GWT because i don't see some good benefits in it.

    I just would like to know how the rest of you feel about it and how happy you are with GWT or what is your experience?

    Yeah, i see. Since it was recommended to use search console i was trying long enough to learn from that site how to improve things on my SERP, but it's useless for serious webmasters, so i guess i will forget about it for some time until they can offer some serious service...

    Well that is interesting isn't it? I thought Google Search Console was just a bit funny this week? Oh well. I'm glad I know now.

    I honestly haven't spent too much time in Google Search Console. Yes I log in to get Google to crawl my content every time I publish new content and also when I have updated anything on my website but other than that I have not used it for much.

    I did post recently about how Google Analytics blocks a whole stack of the organic search keywords which is upsetting. For 92% of my organic searches it just says there is no information. Then I went into Google Search Console for that website and it showed me all the keywords.

    So I checked one of my other websites and suddenly it said I have NO backlinks and NO organic searches... I got a fright and then checked online. There have been some glitches this week so maybe just wait a bit and see what happens?

    I find Search Console very helpful! It notifies my about my website's health and lets me know if I have any 404 errors.

    The best features for new pages would be the submitting of a sitemap which helps a lot with indexing the new page in Google Search as well as Fetching a Google Bot, great tool to have when you want to re-index something or you made a change.

    Outside these features, I don't really used Search Console, maybe to check up hreflangs tags if I have them implemented and also to check the backlinks a website haves, but that's pretty much it.
