Linking your Search Console Account with Google Analytics

Google Analytics and Search Console or two different services of Google they may seem same as both tells about the site but there are many differences in them, normally beginners thought Search Console is best but they do not know both the services are important.

Differences between Google Search Console and Analytics

Google Search Console is for internal information such as indexing your site, checking which site is linking you, how many visitors you are getting, how many click your site have got from search results, is there any malware on your site, the most popular keywords of your site etc. while Google Analytics gives more information about your visitors such as from where your visitors are coming, what they are searching on your site, how many time they have spent on your site, location & language of your visitors, interest of your visitors, comparison between the page views of two dates etc.

There are also some differences in the algorithms of these two products so they do not use the same data in the same way that’s why you can see some difference in the reports of these products. Linking these two services provides the best results and you can get most out of the information provided by the Google Analytics and Search Console.

Let’s link the Google Analytics and Search Console with each other.

Search Appearances has many useful tools which can be used to optimize the search appearances of your verified sites. Click on the round question mark (?) icon at right side of Search Appearances option an example of the page of Search Engine Search Page will be displayed with each element which is shown in the Google Search Results. Like below picture.

Now click on each element of example page to read the instructions for about “how to influence” that element. There is also a Learn More link at the end of every line which you can click to open full instructions by Google.

HTML Improvements:

When Google crawl your site it also keeps on detecting potential issues with your contents such as duplicated meta descriptions, duplicated title tags or missing contents etc. Normally Google does not detect such issues for small sites or blog but if you have a very wide site then it can happen to you.

Suppose it happens with you then click on any issue which Search Console will list with all the URLs and their respective issues along them. Then you can update them according to the issue Search Console has displayed.

HTML Improvements

Sitelinks:

Sitelinks

Sitelinks are shown under the main URL or Title of any popular site or brand when you search for that on Google. According to Google Sitelinks are automatically generated links that may appear under your site’s search results. But there is a problem that you cannot add links of your own desire under your site’s results, but don’t worry if your links which you want to show as Sitelinks are enough popular then these links can be shown automatically, fortunately, if you find any link which you don’t want to show as sitelink for your site then you can request Google to remove these links from Search results as sitelinks.

Click on Sitelinks option from Search Console enter the link in “Demote this sitelink URL” field and click on Demote button, that’s it Google will remove your select sitelink from your site.

Sitelinks

Accelerated Mobile Pages:

Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP) is Search Console’s service that is used to serve web pages with fast loading speed on mobile devices. Site loading speed on mobile devices is considered an important step for any website as now a day mobile devices are also being used for searching the Google instead of computer devices.

Accelerated Mobile Pages

Normally Accelerate Mobile Pages are not used by most of the SEO experts as the default design of their blog theme is also very responsive. That’s why I am also not using this for my own site but if you think you should use it then you can read the Google’s instructions for Accelerated Mobile Pages.

Search Traffic

Search traffic has all the tools which can be used to find the information about your site’s traffic. Such as which sites are linking your site, internal links of your site and Search Analytics etc.

Search Analytics:

Search Analytics describes you how much traffic you got from the Search Engine Result Page when users clicked your site, how much impressions your site has got, Click through rate (CTR) and average position of your site on SERP besides this you can also find about Queries, Pages, Countries, Devices, Search Type etc.

Search Analytics

Google’s algorithm for Search Console and Google Analytics is a little different that’s why the reports of these two services may vary from each other, however, you can look at impression and click through rate to find which pages of your site are showing highest visibility on SERP but low clicks.

Links to your site:

If you want to find which sites are linking your website or its contents the most then head to this section. There are two tabs under this option one is “Who links the most” this tells the URLs of the sites which are mostly linking your site another one is “Your most linked contents” this displays which contents of your website are mostly linked.

Links to your site

Internal Links:

This option tells you about the internal links of your site. You can see how many times a particular link is linked to other pages. Like below picture.

Internal Links

Click on any URL listed you can see all the pages which are linking to that particular URL. Your homepage page URL is also listed in this list as the main menu of your site links to your all URLs.

If you want to edit or delete some pages of your site then you must give a look to Internal Links Reports so that you can prevent from broken links.

Manual Actions:

If you violate the Webmaster Quality Guidelines of Google, then Google will notice you by sending a message in the message box and will also provide more information about that error in the Manual Actions option.

Google uses the human reviews to flag your pages if they find anything which is against Google’s Webmasters Guidelines then they can remove your site from the Google search.

The manual action page is used to list all the problems and help you to resolve them. If your site’s ranking has been decreased then you must look at the manual action page there may be some messages from Google for you which can help you to resolve the problem.

There are two types of actions which are displayed in Manual Action page.

• Site-wide matches: This lists all the actions which can affect your whole site.
• Partial Matches: This lists the actions which may affect your individual URLs.

International Targeting:

Google tries to return the best results to their user that’s why there may be a difference between the search results of your country and any other country. For example if you are in Pakistan and you search for “Best Hotels” the results will not match with the results searched in India or USA etc. Google do so by many facts, the biggest way for Google to do so is your domain name, if you are using an international domain name like .org, .com or .net etc. then Google will follow your IP location to determine where you are from. But if you are using any country domain like .pk, .in, .if or .ie etc. then it’s easy for Google to determine that you are from a specific country so Google easily targets your audience.

But if you want to target your audience in a specific country or state then Go to the International targeting page click on Country tab select the country where you want to target your audience.

Mobile Usability:

Since last few years, the number of internet users on Mobile devices has been increased too much, with the increasing of mobile devices internet is also being used on the mobile devices that’s why mobile phones are mostly used to search the web and open the interested sites instead of computers. So your website should be mobile friendly and fully responsive if your site is not mobile-friendly or responsive then Search console will show mobile errors in the Mobile Usability page. If you are have created your blog on Blogger then you can install mobile responsive templates on your blog this will reduce the chances of such errors for your site.

Google Index

In Google Index you can find how many pages of your site have been indexed, mostly used keywords of your site, block resources and the removed URLs of your site.

Index Status:

This page displays the number of all the index links to your site which have been indexed in Google’s index. You can also see how many pages of your site have been blocked by Robots and the URLs which you have blocked. Removed or blocked URLs will not be shown on the list, however, total number of pages can be displayed.

Index Status

Content Keywords:

Content keywords show the most frequently used keywords of your site. These are found which Google bots last time crawl your site.

Content Keywords

Now click on any keyword from the list, you will see a line graph which represents the density of that particular keyword next to it is the total number of the existence of that keyword, you can also see the different variations of that keyword. For example, I click on Android it displays Android’s and Androids as the variation.

Content Keywords

Below is the list of top pages of your site where that particular link was found the most.

Blocked Resources:

Blocked Resources page is for displaying any type of pages, images, CSS, JavaScripts or any other kind of link blocked by your robots.txt file or due to any reason which Google bots cannot access.

Search Console also provides the solution to resolve that particular blocked resource found on your site.

Remove URLs:

Remove URLs

If you found any URL of your site in Google Search Results but you are not intended to display that URL in the search result then you can also block that particular URL from displaying in the Google Search Results. First, you have to block the URL using a robots.txt file so that Google cannot index that page again.

To hide the URL just click on Temporarily hide button and enter the URL which you want to hide, in the next step select either you want to remove the page from search results or from the cache and that’s it.

Be Careful while removing any URLs it can also remove any directory if your make any mistake, it takes up to 6 hours to remove the URL, but the time can be changed.

Crawl

Basically, the word “Crawl” mean following any path.

But here is Search Counsel “Crawl” or “Crawling” mean following your links. When Google bots crawl your site they not only following only one page, in fact, your all linked pages are also followed. This is also the one reason for creating a Site Map page of your site.

Crawl Errors:

After learning about Crawl, it will be clear for you what is Crawl Error. But I am describing it again, Crawl Error mean those error which Google bots find on your pages while crawling process. There are two types of Crawling Errors.

Crawl Errors

• Site Errors: These errors occur when there is problem with your DNS, Server Connectivity or robots.txt file that’s why there are three different columns for all of them click any of them to see if Googlebots have encountered any error for that particular field.
• URL Errors: This error occurs when Google bots want to track a URL but that URL does not exist anymore. For example, if you remove or rename any existing (indexed) URL of your any page and Google bots want to visit on that page then a 404 error page will be displayed which mean URL errors. You can redirect your all URL Error to your Site Map page, this will not produce the chances of URL Errors.

Crawl Status:

This page shows the status of crawling of your website for last 90 days, the reports for downloading of pages and downloaded size is also displayed in Kilobytes.

Crawl Status

The reports displayed on this page are not very important for the SEO of your site, but if any chart drops down suddenly, then you should search for the reason for the drop down of lines, perhaps this is not mandatory.

Fetch as Google:

Fetch as Google is designed to display the crawled URLs of your site so that you can see how Google looks a particular page of your site. Moreover, it is the quick and perfect way to get your links crawled and indexed by Google bots.

Just submit your URL in the respective field and click on Fetch or Fetch and Render button. Wait!

Fetch as Google

What is the difference between “Fetch” and “Fetch and Render”?

Well, both of these are very similar but there is a little difference between these two buttons.

• Fetch: When you use “Fetch” button Google quickly crawl the submitted URL and you can see any kind of problems with your link.
• Fetch and Render: When you use the “Fetch and Render” Google does the same instead you can also see how Google looks your linked pages.

If you ask me what you should do which choosing one of the above buttons then I will recommend the “Fetch and Render” so that you can quickly see how Google sees your page so that there is no difference between your visitors and Google bots.

Now when the page is Fetched and Rendered submit it to the Google index so that it can be displayed in Google Search Results.

While submitting your URL to index you have further two option these are Crawl only this URL and Crawl this and all its direct URL.

Fetch as Google

• When you choose Crawl only this URL only the selected URL is crawled. You can submit 500 URLs per month.
• When you choose Crawl this and all its direct URLs the select and all the direct links of submitted URLs are also crawled. You can submit 10 URLs per month.

Now click on any URL have status as Partial you will see two tabs one is Crawling other is Rendering, select the Rendering there you will see how your visitors see your pages.

Robots.txt Tester:

In our previous article we have already discussed a lot about robots.txt files but here I am again describing it. A robots.txt file is used to give instruction to the crawlers for crawling your site, it contains some instruction that crawlers understand and work according to the instruction given. For example, you have a page on your site and you don’t want to show that in Search Results then you have three conditions, i) Delete the page, ii) Set password on page iii) Block that page from search engine’s access. Blocking page for crawlers is the easiest and best way as most of the website services do not provide the facility of a password and you may not be wanted to delete pages of your site. But there is also a problem, it is not important that robots.txt file will definitely remove your requested pages from all search results web crawlers like Google bot listed to the robots.txt file it is also possible any other crawler do not use this technique to block pages or they don’t understand this method. But you need not worry all the reputed crawls listed to the robots.txt files.

Click on Robots.txt testes option under the crawl. Robots.txt tester page will load here you can test the URLs, edit the robots.txt file and find any error in your robots.txt file.

Robots.txt Tester

If you want to edit the robots.txt file then you can also do this directly in the tester. You can enter the name of any crawler you wish to allow or disallow. You can also check the URLs according to your robots.txt file, for example, you have blocked a URL but not sure has the Google bots also stop following that URL or not then enter the URL in the below field and click on the test button. You can also select the bot type from the drop down.

When you have updated the Robots.txt file click on submit button and download the new robots.txt file upload that file to the root directory of your site and verify the update of robots.txt file in your Search Console property.

Sitemaps:

Submitting sitemap to your Search Console property and all the related information has already been described on the top of this page.

URL Parameters:

URL Parameters are used to indicate the parameter you use on your site. For example, you have a global shopping site then how can you distinguish the same product in different countries, you can use the country parameters to help Google understand which page should it index for which country. In this way, duplicated pages are not indexed and your pages keep their ranking.

URL Parameters

If you want to know how can you set URL Parameters for your site then Google has a complete article on this topic: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6080550?hl=en

After the introduction of canonical tags, the need of URL Parameters page on Search Console has been decreased a lot, however, they are not completely removed.

Security Issues:

Any kind of issues which Google may find with your site are listed here with the complete resolving method. These issues included the hacked sites, malware affected sites etc.

Security Issues

Security issues are also listed in the Search results if they are detected like below image.
