    This is In-Ear Insights, the Trust Insights podcast.

    In this episode of In-Ear Insights today, we are talking about Google Search Console. It is the number one search marketing resource that marketers don’t use.

    Understandably, the reason for it is, is I guess, understandable. It’s it’s not, especially in its old incarnation was not the friendliest piece of software to use. The documentation wasn’t great. But there are a lot of marketers who are relying on the basic search stuff within Google Analytics without connecting search console to it. And they’re all asking questions like, why am I not seeing any keywords?

Now, let’s talk about so the data itself when you go into Search Console, yes, you see the pages that are getting search hits, but you’re the thing I think most marketers are interested in is, what am I getting searched for? Like, what when I What do I show up for when someone’s searching for me. And this is something that I am constantly amazed people don’t spend more time with.
