Cons
- Covers Google Search only, not Bing or AI assistants
- You must prove you own the site first, with a DNS record, an HTML file, a meta tag or a Google Analytics or Tag Manager tag

- No longer supports X (Twitter)
- No free plan
- Learning curve for automation
Details
Search Console is Google’s own view of how your site appears in Google Search. It shows which queries bring people to your pages, how often you appear, your click-through rate and average position, and which pages Google has indexed. It also lists the sites that link to yours.
It costs nothing, and it is where Google reports crawling and indexing errors, Core Web Vitals problems and security issues such as hacking or malware.
You don’t need it to appear in Google, but you do need to verify that you own the site before it shows any data. You can do that with a meta tag on your homepage, an HTML file or a DNS record at your domain provider.
Hypefury schedules and automates social posts for creators. It began as a Twitter tool, but its pricing page now states that it no longer supports X. It covers Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok instead. The Flexible plan costs $6 a month per channel and includes unlimited scheduling and autoplugs. The Full plan costs $19 a month for all channels and adds cross-posting, LinkedIn carousels, analytics and an AI trained on your past posts.
