Great video, thank you for the help. It doesn't seem like they have a "coverage button" anymore... do you have a new video that would cover this?
Welcome! Yes the navigation has changed slightly but it is still relevant.
good presentation
Glad you think so!
Thank you Stewart, this is a very good explanation . I do have a question . Do I need to ask for a new index for every blogpost I write? Some of them are not indexed. I am using Rankmath for the SEO and I thought it goes automatically. Anyway thank you very much!
Hey,
You do not have to. Google will index your page over time. However, we typically do each time we create or update a post.
Yeah I'd also like to learn more about conversion tracking especially for phone calls
Yes this is important for local businesses especially.
I appreciated
No problem!
Good video
Thanks!
Good video!
Questions:
In this case you found both "landscape supplies tauranga" and also "top soil" that points to the home page. A couple of queries might work for the home page but in general pointing to specific subpages would be easier to optimize. What´s your thoughts?
If you find like 10 different queries leading some traffic to the home page. It might be hard to optimze jsut the home page for multiple different queries. Would you instead create new subpage for each of them and on-page optimize them for each query?
Hey!
If your a local business your want to focus in your home page for primary keywords and subpages for sub keywords.
HI. Liking the information on these videos. Can you advise if there are people out there who will set up your website on search console correctly so that the information being returned is correct?
Hey Jason,
Any web developer can do this. We also share a video on 3 methods for setting this up your self.
Thank you for the great video, Steward! Can you please help me out - do you know if it is possible to visualize/connect Google Search Console data to Power BI?
Welcome! I will have to look into this.
Thank you a million@@StewartGauld!
Hi, great video on the whole. Thank you. I have a question, is it good to try and rank a single page for multiple keywords? because if you see the video, many keywords direct to the homepage, but how can make my home page rank for so many keywords? won't it dilute my rankings with so much content with varied keywords? please help me with this.
Thanks! You want to focus on target keywords that are similar.
Ok this is very interesting once I understand what keywords needs to be highlighted what strategies do I use to climb higher up Google and other search websites?
Hey mate,
Those are the keywords you want to use in your content (blog content) and in your website pages.
Hi Stewart can you make a tutorial about conversion tracking (events) for phone calls , contact form tracking and GMB phonecall tracking ? Can it be done without Google ads tracking and do you really need a call tracking company for that? I dont want to use the new Google Analytics GA4 i guess its called Thx i want to help setting this up for a small company. thx
Hi mate,
Will do. Google Ads offer Google forwarding numbers for tracking in SOME countries. You can find out on their website.
A super clear video about a complex subject. I have learned that my best results (clicks) are for services I don’t provide, Q) how to change that?
Thanks. Make sure your Meta title is clear with the services that you offer as well as on your landing pages.
Hello, Stewart, very inspiring explanations, thanks a lot.
I'm just a little confused about the explanation for the total impression definition at 7:26. You said it's about over 5000 persons have scrolled passed the website pages without necessarily clicking it. By that, would you mean more likely : the website pages have been showed over 5000 times in front of the people, but not necessarily in front of over 5000 people. Because if the pages have been showed 1000 times to 1 person, the total impression means, only 5 persons have seen the pages but 1000 times per person.
Hey mate,
You are correct. The same person could have seen the website appear.
@@StewartGauld can i have a live chat access with a google search expert agent?
Great Video! I have a quick question, how did you add the favicon next to your property URL? Mine is currently depressing gray globe lol
That is automatic, if your website has a favicon.
Excellent! Thanks mate
@@williamvercetti welcome!🙏
Google made some changes in the platform and doesnt look quite the same, still, your tutorial is a great introduction and its easy to follow. Thanks.
You're welcome! We have an updated video coming out soon!
Excellent information. My search console doesn't show the filter for postion or ctr
Hey mate,
The interface has changed slightly. However, you should still be able to locate this under 'search results'
Do you have any updated videos for 2023? Coverage and insights isn't there anymore and I'm assuming I'll find more as I keep watching! (Position, for example, also isn't in that "Queries" tab. Wondering if there's a way to get this added to that dashboard!)
Hey,
It's still relevant this video, just a few changes to the interface. However, we will be updating this soon!
Great video, imagine you insert the search querie in the page and you improve the ranking a bit, but not enough to reach the top 3? What do you do next?
Thanks for that. There are a few things you can do. Add more content, structure your page better and add more images. Make sure your content is helpful.
Thanks for your video! That's useful for me! And I have a question: The Google Search Console shows "Your website rating is out of the specified range, and the value in ratingcount must be positive."
I have tried to watch a lot of teaching, but I still can't solve it. What should I do?
Hey!
Welcome!
I'll have to look into this.
@@StewartGauld Glad to receive your reply. I'm looking forward to your answer! That's important to me. Thank you!🙏
Good work. Please I have a question my website is 1 month old but I have over 30 blog posts which are not index yet but my homepage is indexed. Why are my blog post not indexed and can I manually index it on GSC
Hey mate,
Thanks, yes you can manually index using the Google Search Console.
Hi Stewart. I am pretty new at this and made a silly mistake. I submitted a URL of a page someone tagged me in under the outdated content. My claim was denied. I can't find an option of deleting the claim because I don't want on my account anymore. Do you know if I can delete the old claim / report or if it will disappear in time? Thanks in advance!
Hey mate,
This will not impact your account. You can leave it as it is.
Thank you. In my associated services section, the youtube channel is not reflecting the correct channel. Not sure how that happened but I want to use a DIFFERENT youtube channel (this one Angela~Silver Linings) .. is there a way to change it? thanks so much.
Hey Angela,
You will just have to embed the correct channel URL.
@@StewartGauld Thanks so much Stewart. Yes I thought as much but I don't see an edit button. Can you still help? I so appreciate your reply. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you Stewart for sharing so much useful information about GSC. Can I ask why my websites got zero clicks or expressions after google has indexed 88 of my webpages? I can't figure it out.
Your welcome! Is your website new?
Yes, I just created it 3 months ago. It only got 2 clicks for now.@@StewartGauld
Is it possible to check console results of a website “without” actually connecting the website to a google account, like copy pasting some code for tracking purposes?
Hey,
You need to connect your website to GSC.
Hey man great info. How long does it take for performance metrics to show up after setting up console for your website? I did it yesterday and its showing zero impressions and stats after one day. Is that normal?
Thanks mate.
I would wait 48 hours and you should start seeing your console data.
@@StewartGauld hey thanks man
@@zakosman1684 welcome!
Thank you for a really nice, straight forward tutorial.
'Coverage' does not come up in the options under 'Indexing' for me. any idea why?
Your welcome! Have you just connected GSC?
Yes! is this like a new update and its no longer there?@@StewartGauld
Thanks Stewart - what if the information in performance is solely around one topic rather than all of my available topics?
Hey mate,
What exactly do you mean? You other content topics may not be ranking yet.
@@StewartGauld All topics on my blog have been up for years - I don't think I installed it correctly. Have any videos on trouble shooting?
I have a Mobile Business and would like to start promoting my second city mobile location. Currently in Boston, Massachusetts and would like to promote same company but second location in Hartford, Connecticut. Would it be better to make another website or add second location address on same website. How do I handle optimization for secondary location.
Hey mate,
I would create a seperate website page (landing page) on your website that targets that location with particular keywords etc.
What would you consider an ideal CTR rate ? For a Shopify dropshipping business owner
Good question but challenging to answer. Depends on many many factors
hii mate one problem I am facing that how to download padlet and jamboard and when doing by chrome its log out atomatically plz...help
Hi mate,
I will look into this.
Marry Christmas, Stewart!! ☃🎆🎄All the best wishes to you in the coming New year!
Would you be this kind and spare a minute of your time answering the question I am now extremely looking the answer for? I try to insert the Tag Manager codes into the required spaces and see NO empty/blank row within the HTML description - this means I can't paste the codes into. In addition the Paste function from the drop menu appears as inactive when I try to use it for the codes. Can you, please, explain how to get these Tag Manager's codes pasted into eventually???
Thanking in advance!☃❄⛄🥳🍹🍰
Hey mate,
What website are you trying to add the codes too? Website builder? WordPress?
@@StewartGauld Great to hearing from you!! Google based web-site integrated with Ecwid store.
I selected the compare, hit apply and now it's stuck on Processing data, please check again in a day or so, it won't let me cancel or go back. now the buttons are grayed out. I'll just watch the video and take notes. such a good tutorial, thank you.
Hey Joseph,
Try come out and login again. Did you watch our setup tutorial?
Hello Please I was wondering. I added Google Analytics on one of my Shopify website only today. However i would like to see a report from 1 July 2020 to 30 July 2020 on Google Analytics ( one year before, so Google Analytic was not installed yet on my website) . Is doable please? Thank you very much in advance,
Hi Sonia, unfortunately, this is not possible. You can only see data from the time you installed GA.
@@StewartGauld Thank you very much
Hi Im new to all of this and i'm trying to find information on site overview and there is no data but i know there has been visits to the site. Can you help?
Hey Niki,
Try index your pages manually. How new is your site?
Hi I added my website from Shopify the way you showed me to google console search and verified it. Now when I try to type in the URL in safari says cannot connect & when I type in chrome it says your connection is not private?
Hey!
Sounds like your domain isn't connected properly.
Hi, One question - where can I find the code for google search console if already having the property verified but just needing the code to connect it to yoast?
You have already connected your GSC with your website?
@@StewartGauld yesss
My Website , is being properly crawled and analyzed in the OLD SEARCH CONSOLE..... Do I have to add the property on the NEW GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE?
hey mate,
You can simply switch to the new version.
Is there anyway to speed up these crawls? i have 1000's of items. so i know its going to take forever either way.
You can manually submit pages that you want crawled.
How can I get access to part two!?
We will create an updated tutorial soon!
I wonder if this steps are still valid today, cause I am about to setup mine
Very valid. Let me know how you go.
In my Google search Console, its showing pages under indexing not coverage, Why?
It has changed slightly the interface.
Excuse me, if my average position page its 25, thats mean i appear in the next page search of google?
Hey mate,
That’s around the 3rd page of Google.
Sad fact is that I don’t have a close relationship with my developers, so I trying to figure out other e-commerce partners or even wondering if I can develop my own website.
It's important to have a good relationship with your team. You can find some good partners on Upwork.
hi, i can't find position column in the top queries section
There have been a few slight changes. But it should still be there.
Pls share the screenshot on your email : Codegency.co.in@gmail.com
what if my about have 500 pages+ and i need to index all pages ?
You can bulk or just let them be indexed organically.
tq mate. good simple helpful vid. how do i contact Google Help?
Welcome! What do you need help with?
Thanks! What do you need help with?
@@StewartGauld previously, I received email from Google saying there is something wrong with my website indexing. Am very much a beginner in console search and seo
@@StewartGauld HOW DO I PROMOTE MY WEBSITE IN COUNTRY AND LATER ABROAD?
But only if you put that keyword search for that specific page doesnt mean that page will go up automatically on first page in google...because everybody will put that keyword search x10 in that page to increase rank page..i guess its not that easy
It's definitely not easy. You have to continue to monitor GSC to identify the right keywords and for optimising your pages.
Just in case anyone wants to skip just to the tutorial it starts at 3:04
Thanks for that Ben.
@@StewartGauld no probs. Thanks for making the video. I found it very helpful.
@@StewartGauld one question I had is: say there was another keyword I wanted to rank for that wasn't showing up on the list of searches, is there a way I can inspect where my site would appear on that keyword's results? I hope that makes sense. Thanks again.
Search Console has identified that your site is affected by 1 Videos issues:

Please help me with the above error
Hey mate,
You will need to get in touch with a developer to help you with this.
Pls share us the error screenshot on email : Codegency.co.in@gmail.com
how to submit sitemaps?
Great question. You can do that under submit.
I need help in getting approval for my blogging page, kindly guide me
Did you just create your website?
They’ve changed everything on the console page again. They just can’t leave ANYTHING alone. Wtf
Hey mate,
You should be able to still navigate with this video
Im a youtuber
Awesome!
Danso vrboski gogel. Mirekinaja. Program ata za. Aramite. Domawni
Thanks!
2021 vide with title 2023 - misleading!
Because it’s still relevant
@StewartGauld yeah, but you put it there because you wanted to get users who are looking for actual information. Just put an disclaimer if you can in the comments that it is an old video, which is still relevant. No offence, I would watch it if there is 2021 in the title. Anyway, thanks for the material, I hope you understood my opinion.
