Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools ) is a web service free of charge by Google for webmasters. This allows webmasters to check their indexing status and optimize their website visibility.
Starting May 20, 2015, Google changed the Google Webmaster Tools brand as Google Search Console . In January 2018, Google introduced a new version of Search Console, with an updated user interface and upgrade.

Features of Search Analytics report
- Accurate data

- The report has been updated and provides up-to-date information possible.
- Number of individual pages
- Search The analytics report considers all links to the same page as a single impression.
- Separate reports are available to track device type and search type.
- The number of image clicks is more accurate
- The Search Analysis report only counts clicks as a click on an expanded image in the image search results to your page. Previous Search Search reports count all clicks on images, expanded or not, on the web & amp; image search.
- Data is consolidated by the full domain
- The Search Analytics report assigns all clicks, impressions and other search data to one full host name.

Criticism and controversy
The list of incoming links on Google Webmaster Tools is generally much larger than the list of found incoming links using the link: example.com search query on Google itself. Google is silent about the difference. The list in Google Webmaster Tools includes a nofollow link that does not convey search engine optimization authority to the linked site. On the other hand, the list of links generated with the link: example.com type of request is considered by Google as a "significant" link in controversial terms. Google Webmaster Tools, as well as Google's index, seem to routinely ignore link spam. After a manual penalty is removed, Google Webmaster Tools will still display penalties for the next 1-3 days. After the Google Search Console name change, the resulting information indicates that Google Search Console is creating data points that do not match Google Analytics or ranking data, especially in the local search market.
