Google has introduced a new feature in Search Console called Search Console recommendations. This feature provides websites with optimization opportunities and suggests actions to improve their presence on Google Search.
Key Features
- Data Sources: Recommendations are based on Google Search systems data, such as indexing, crawling, and serving.
- Accessibility: The data was already available in Search Console, but now it's more accessible through direct recommendations.
- Optimization Efforts: Helps prioritize efforts like using structured data, adding sitemaps, and checking trending queries and pages.
- Regular Updates: Recommendations are computed regularly and may expire or change over time.
Availability
- Experimental Stage: Currently, this feature is experimental, and not all sites will have recommendations initially.
- Gradual Rollout: The feature will be rolled out slowly over the coming months.
- Conditional Recommendations: Even after full rollout, recommendations will only be provided when relevant for the website.
Recommendations will appear in the Overview section of the Search Console dashboard. Following the recommendations is optional. Users can click on the call to action for more details.
This new feature aims to help websites improve their performance on Google Search through actionable insights and prioritized optimization efforts.
