Google Search Console

Description

• • The Search Console lets you, as a webmaster, check on the status of the indexing Google does on your site, helping you to optimize your page visibility in Google search results.
  • Get data, tools and diagnostics for a healthy, Google-friendly site. When you follow Google’s Webmaster Guidelines, Google can more easily find, index and rank your site. Also see: How to get your website on Google Search (formerly Google Webmaster Tools).

• The main differences between Google Search Console and Google Analytics:
  • Google Search Console 
    • shows traffic for each keyword separately
    • does not cover search results from other search engines such as Bing and Yahoo.
  • Google Analytics
    • shows total traffic for a website, regardless of where the users came from
    • shows the search terms  used.
