Tracking Rankings with Search Console
Google Search Console is the only tool that shows exactly which queries Google is actually showing your pages for — data no third-party rank tracker can fully replicate. This section focuses entirely on using Search Console to track and improve keyword rankings: reading the Performance report correctly, finding quick-win keywords already ranking on page two, tracking movement over time, combining it with GA4 for a fuller picture, and fixing the indexing and coverage issues that silently cap your rankings. Five practical guides, start to finish.
