Google Search Console - Another great tool for managing SEO
Overall Satisfaction with Google Search Console
I use the Google Search Console for every single website that I manage. As part of initial website development plans, the Google Search Console is a default setup task along with Google Analytics.
I find this an important piece that ties to Google Analytics to monitor traffic, specifically search traffic so we know what keywords are working and what users are searching for.

Pros
- Providing Search Terms for what real people are searching for
- Providing Appearance Rankings for where my websites appear in search results
- Providing what problems may exist with indexing sites
Cons
- Does not accept .html formatted xml sitemaps.
- I don't think indexing is always complete for websites I've submitted
- Allows better use of my time which deceases my client's costs
- I can explain keywords and how they are useful with data
Google Search Console is free to use. HubSpot can be quite costly and out of my client's budgets.
