What is Google Search Console?
Google Search Console is a collection of tools and resources to help website owners, webmasters, web marketers and SEO professionals monitor website performance in the Google search index.
Features include information about search appearance, search traffic, technical status updates, crawl data and additional educational resources.
Google Search Console was formerly known as Google Webmaster Central and then Google Webmaster Tools until taking the current name in 2015.
