Dear, Stewart I want to express my sincere gratitude for introducing me to Google Search Console. Your guidance has been invaluable, and I'm already seeing the positive impact on my online presence. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping me navigate the digital landscape.♥
Thank you very much for this excellent introduction to the use of Google Search Console to improve my website performance. Your delivery and content were excellent!
Good Day Stewart hope i find you well Nice explanation can you kindly assist own my google search console um having clicks and impression but um not receiving any calls what might be the issue
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.
Great video Stewart! On 11:19 you have a column in the report that shows the CTR and position. In my perspective it only shows clicks and impressions. Is there a setting to add those columns to the reporting summary? Thanks for reviewing my question.
Thank you for the effective tutorial. At the 12:20 to 12:30 timestamp you mention "H1 tags" if I understand correctly meaning more than 1. I understood that a page should only have 1? Did I misunderstand the point you were making? Thank you, Patrick
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?
Very useful information. I can understand better some terms and how to navigate around... Is Google search console the same as Google Ads? because I can only see most of the staff in Google Ads. I can get Google search console, unfortunately... It would be better if you could update this video. Google has changed a lot since. Now in 2024, it doesn't look the same. A few things are no longer in my Google Ads. I have to guess... Thanks for taking the time to show us... 👍👍👍
Stewart I think your tutorials are wonderful you have a great way of explaining where it sticks and i thank you for the help i am new to all this so thank u
Thanks for the tutorial Stewart! Do you know if the green “top 5 results” is a plug in feature or is that something that Google console removed? I don’t see that percentage on mine!
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?
Duuuude, great tutorial, thank you for clarifying the first two things on google search console but I really wanted to know how can I fix errors and delete old urls from previous website host and the science behind it, is there a way to do it not one by one, more time efficient? Do you really think I would care about google search console if i had a team of people working on my website and seo optimisation, I am the team Stewart, help us please! hahahah I think you should cover the whole thing, video was great but lets make part 2! 😆🙏
Hey! Thanks! Yes you will need a developer to help you fix those changes unless you have experience. The process of fixing some of those issues unfortunately just takes manual time input.
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!)
Im looking at my search console, and it shows me 2 different homepages, one starts with http and the other with https. One is ranked third and the other 26th. How can I edit my page for https only then? As the backend of it the same in WIX.
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?
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
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.
@@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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
Stewart, good stuff. Informative & precise. Thank you for sharing this content. Thus, even a small improvement in search engine rankings can result in a website receiving more traffic and potentially business.
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?
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!☃❄⛄🥳🍹🍰
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!
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,
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.
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?
Thank you very resourceful and well presented! I have a question where can I see the total indexation for my website and how many pages indexed in total? Can you also explain how you use site map?

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
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.
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

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?
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.
how to submit sitemaps?
Great question. You can do that under submit.
