Introducing recommendations in Google Search Console

Monday, August 05, 2024

We are excited to announce Search Console recommendations, a new feature that provides websites with optimization opportunities and suggests actions they can take to improve their presence on Google Search.

Recommendations are based on a variety of Google Search systems data, like indexing, crawling and serving. The data was already available to you on Search Console, but now we're helping to make it more accessible by providing direct recommendations. They can help you prioritize your search optimization efforts, such as using structured data to help Google understand your content, adding sitemaps, and checking out trending queries and pages. The recommendations are computed on a regular basis and may expire or change details over time.

The recommendations will appear in the Search Console overview page. This is still an experimental feature, and not all sites will have recommendations at this stage, we'll be rolling out this feature slowly over the coming months. Note that even after complete rollout, we'll only provide recommendations when we have a recommendation available for your website.

We hope to adjust and expand the recommendations over time. We are always working to improve our tools and features, and your feedback is important to us. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us via the Google Search Central Community, on X, or on LinkedIn.
