About Google Search Console

Google Search Console is Google's free search performance tool for site owners, publishers, marketers, SEOs, and creators. In July 2026, Google introduced Platform Properties, a new property type that lets creators track how content from Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube performs in Google Search and Discover. This matters because creator search visibility no longer lives only on a website: videos, posts, and social profiles can earn impressions and clicks from Google, but previously creators had limited Search Console-style reporting for those assets.

Pros

  • +Free official Google search performance data
  • +Platform Properties extend Search Console beyond websites
  • +Useful for creators who rely on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or X content
  • +Shows platform content visibility in Google Search and Discover rather than only on-platform analytics

Cons

  • Platform Properties are rolling out gradually, so not every account will see them immediately
  • Reports do not replace native platform analytics
  • Only four platform types are supported initially
  • Still requires verification and platform connection steps

Key Features

Creator SEO Reporting
