Google Search Console is Google's own free tool that reports how your site is doing in search: which pages it has indexed, which it could not, and how many people saw and clicked your listings. We connect it at launch as part of your SEO setup. After that, SEO monitoring means it is watched rather than forgotten. Automated checks look for new indexing errors, pages that have dropped out of Google and sudden falls in clicks, and flag them to us. We then look into the cause, whether it is a technical fault, a page that needs improving or a wider change on Google's side, and act on what we can. Nobody controls Google's rankings, and we will never promise a position. What we can do is make sure that when something slips, it is noticed and dealt with rather than discovered months later.

## How it works

1. **Search Console is connected** - At launch we connect your site to Google Search Console, verified in your name, so the data about your site belongs to you and not to us.
2. **Automated checks watch it** - Your Search Console data is checked regularly for new indexing errors, important pages dropping out of Google and falls in clicks compared with recent weeks.
3. **We look into anything flagged** - When something is flagged we find the cause. It might be a technical fault we can fix, a page that needs better content, or a Google change that affects everyone.
4. **We act and tell you** - We fix what is ours to fix and explain it in plain English. If a change needs your input, like new photos or details about a service, we ask.

## Why it matters

- **Problems caught in weeks, not months** - A page that falls out of Google quietly costs you enquiries. Watching for it means the loss is spotted early, while it is still easy to put right.
- **Honest about what is in our control** - We cannot promise rankings and will not pretend to. We can make sure technical problems on your side of the fence are found and fixed, which is where many drops start.
- **Your data stays yours** - Search Console is set up in your name. If you ever leave us, the history of how your site performed in Google goes with you.

## Questions

### What is Google Search Console?

Google Search Console is a free tool from Google that shows how your website appears in search: which pages are indexed, which have problems, and how many people see and click your listings. We set it up in your name.

### Can you guarantee my site will rank first on Google?

No, nobody can honestly guarantee Google rankings, and we would be wary of anyone who does. We build your site to give it a good chance and watch for problems so they are fixed quickly, but Google decides the order.

### What happens if my site drops in Google?

Our checks flag a noticeable fall in clicks or pages dropping out of the index. We look for the cause and fix what we can, whether it is technical or content, and tell you plainly what we found.

### Is SEO monitoring included, or is it the local SEO bolt-on?

Monitoring for problems is included on every plan, including Monthly at £99 a month. The local SEO bolt-on, at £49 a month, is separate ongoing work to actively grow your local visibility.
