📈 How to Use Google Search Console to Improve Your Rankings

Featuring JumboNIC

If you want your website to rank higher on Google, you need data — not guesses.
Google Search Console (GSC) provides insights into how your website performs in search results, what keywords drive traffic, and which pages need improvement.

This guide explains step-by-step how to use GSC and how JumboNIC hosting can make your website perform better for SEO.

🧠 Why Google Search Console Matters

With GSC, you can:

  • See which keywords bring traffic

  • Track your click-through rate (CTR) and impressions

  • Identify pages with errors or indexing issues

  • Monitor backlinks and internal linking

  • Improve mobile usability and Core Web Vitals

Google Search Console helps you make data-driven SEO decisions instead of guessing.

🟦 Step 1: Add Your Website to Google Search Console

  1. Go to https://search.google.com/search-console

  2. Click “Add Property”

  3. Enter your website URL (choose exact match: https:// vs http://)

  4. Verify ownership:

    • Upload an HTML file to your JumboNIC hosting

    • OR add a TXT record to your domain’s DNS

    • OR use Google Analytics / Site Kit plugin for WordPress

✅ Once verified, your site is ready to track.

🟩 Step 2: Submit a Sitemap

A sitemap helps Google index your pages faster.

  1. Create a sitemap (WordPress plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math do this automatically)

  2. Go to Index → Sitemaps in GSC

  3. Enter your sitemap URL (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml)

  4. Click Submit

Tip: JumboNIC hosting ensures your sitemap loads quickly and reliably for Google bots.

🟦 Step 3: Monitor Performance Reports

Go to Performance → Search Results to see:

  • Clicks → How many visitors came from Google

  • Impressions → How often your page appeared in search results

  • CTR → Click-through rate for each page/keyword

  • Average Position → How high your pages rank

Use this data to:

  • Optimize titles & meta descriptions

  • Focus on high-impression but low-CTR pages

  • Update underperforming content

🟩 Step 4: Check for Indexing Issues

Go to Coverage to see:

  • Pages Indexed

  • Pages with Errors

  • Pages Excluded (not in Google index)

✅ Fix errors like 404s, server errors, or blocked pages.
✅ JumboNIC hosting ensures your server responds fast, preventing crawl errors due to slow loading.

🟦 Step 5: Optimize for Mobile & Core Web Vitals

Google prioritizes mobile-friendly and fast-loading sites:

  1. Go to Core Web Vitals and Mobile Usability in GSC

  2. Identify issues like:

    • Slow loading times

    • Mobile responsiveness problems

    • Layout shifts

Tip: Hosting with JumboNIC improves speed and uptime, which directly improves these metrics.

🟩 Step 6: Use URL Inspection Tool

  • Enter a page URL in GSC

  • Check if Google can crawl and index it properly

  • Request indexing after content updates or fixes

This helps your pages appear faster in search results.
