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.
