The newest addition to Google Search Console, a free tool used to monitor the performance of a site in Google’s search results, has been announced.
This new feature, aptly named recommendations, is designed to give users tips on how to improve their site’s visibility and performance of in Google Search.
Google have confirmed that the:
“Feature provides websites with optimisation opportunities and suggests actions they can take to improve their presence on Google Search.”
This new addition to Google Search Console is still in its experimental phase and will start to roll out in the coming months. Recommendations will not be available to all users, and they will only appear when there are actionable insights worth bringing to your attention.
Users of Google Search Console can locate these recommendations in the Overview tab in the column on the left of the screen.
The suggestions in recommendations can help website owners prioritise their search engine optimisation efforts by providing insights on internal issues, opportunities that could help improve levels of traffic to the site and configuration.
Much of the information that will appear under recommendations is already available within Search Console; however, the recommendation feature has been designed to make it easier for the user to find and improve upon by providing direct recommendations.
Recommendations will be updated frequently and will expire and change over time. They are completely optional and can be disregarded altogether.
