First, let's take a look at what Google Search Console is and why it's an invaluable tool for all website owners.

What is Google Search Console?

Google Search Console (formerly known as Google Webmaster Tools) is a free service available to all website owners.

It shows how Google finds, indexes and displays your site in search results so that the right people can discover your site.

With Google Search Console, you can do the following:

• Make sure Google can find and crawl your WordPress site.
• Submit new content for indexing and submit a sitemap.
• See how many times your site is displayed, clicked on, and ranked on Google.
• Determine which search terms make your site appear in search results.
• Remove or hide content you don't want to show from Google search results.
• Identify and resolve possible malware and spam issues on the website.
• See which other sites are linking to your site.
• Check if your mobile site is helping with website traffic.

In short, Google Search Console is a utility that provides detailed information about your website and its visitors.
