SEO Tools: Google Search Console Recommendations, the Newest Treat

August 6, 2024 By Kailyn

Google drops a new SEO tool for businesses and marketers! Google Search Console Recommendations is a new feature that offers website owners delicious insights to sugarcoat their site’s optimization and increase visibility on Google Search. It does this by offering tailored tips based on your website’s data.

The goal of this tool is to simplify the process of improving your SEO and achieve better search rankings. Let’s unwrap the sweet details of this new feature, exploring how it works, the benefits it offers, and how to make the most of it.

Unwrapping the Goodies: Google Search Console Recommendations

Search Console Recommendations offer personalized suggestions to help you sweeten your website, and not just in one area. These recommendations are categorized into three main types:

  • Internal Issues: Highlights potential problems within your website that can be fixed to improve its overall health and user experience. Examples include:
    • Indexing errors
    • Crawling issues
    • Broken links
    • Site speed problems
  • External Opportunities: Suggests ways to increase your website’s visibility and traffic. This might include:
    • Targeting relevant keywords
    • Optimizing for rich results (e.g., featured snippets, carousels)
    • Building high-quality backlinks
    • Creating valuable content
  • Configuration: Provides recommendations for technical adjustments that can enhance your website’s performance and SEO. Examples include:
    • Improving site architecture
    • Optimizing mobile-friendliness
    • Ensuring proper HTTP status codes
    • Implementing structured data

Recommendations are dynamically generated based on your website’s data, ensuring they remain relevant to your business, as well as, up to date.

Note: This is currently an experimental feature, and not all sites will have access to recommendations immediately. Google is gradually rolling out this feature to more websites over time, but even after complete rollout you may not see them. Recommendations will only be provided when there are actionable insights available for your specific website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why am I not being offered any recommendations?

I guess you’re just a SEO connoisseur! More likely it’s one of two other reasons though. 1) This feature is still in beta which means that not everyone will have access at this time. 2) The system just isn’t picking up recommendations currently. Keep checking back though as recommendations may appear as this feature evolves and rolls out to more people.

What powers Google Search Console Recommendations?

The simple answer, AI. These recommendations are based on a lot of data from Google Search systems, including indexing, crawling, and serving. Their systems take all of this information, analyze it against your current strategies/efforts, find areas where improvements can be made, and then offer suggestions.

Do I need to follow these recommendations?

Nope! Recommendations are optional. You can choose which ones to address based on your website’s priorities and goals.

How often are recommendations updated?

Recommendations are updated regularly to ensure they remain relevant and up-to-date.

Can I customize the types of recommendations I receive?

Unfortunately, no. There’s currently no direct customization option. However, you can focus on addressing the recommendations that are most relevant to your website’s specific needs, and just ignore the rest if you so choose.

The Sweet Rewards of Search Console Recommendations

Is it beneficial to use these recommendations? Well, the worst you can do is implement the recommendations, note what changes you made, and then watch your analytics and performance metrics. If you notice a drop, you can always go in and revert the changes.

  • Time-Saving: Streamlines the process of analyzing your website’s performance and identifying optimization opportunities.
  • Improved SEO Insights: Provides valuable data and actionable advice directly from Google. If anything, you know which areas of your site you might to need pay more attention to.
