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
- Shows how people find you in search, not what they do on your site, so you still need an analytics tool
- X/Twitter API costs affect features
- Focused mainly on text content
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.
Typefully is an AI-powered tool for writing and scheduling social media content. Beautiful distraction-free editor with support for X, LinkedIn, Threads, and Mastodon.
Bootstrapped to $100k+ MRR by Francesco Di Lorenzo and Fabrizio Rinaldi. Previously sold Mailbrew to Twitter co-founder Evan Williams.
