You must have already noticed that Search Console came with a new (yet beta) version. Almost all of us had a crowded email inbox with notifications in January. So let's see what's new in the beta so far. Is it worth it or are these just cosmetic changes? image Welcome to the new Google Search Console Isn't it just a design change? After opening the new Google Search Console service, we can immediately notice the new, more modern design. And as Barney Stinson says "New is always better" . Since the new Search Console does not yet offer most of the reports that it has in the original version, Google kept the original Search Console service in operation, the user can return to the old interface at any time.
And you can easily C Level Executive List compare the reports offered by the new and old versions. Note: If you don't know how to get into beta, try this link: search.google.com/search-console and see if your project is ready. image The new Google Search Console If you find your site in the list, just click through to it and you'll be taken to the Search Console beta interface. By the way, in the lower left corner there is a button for a quick return to the original Search Console. image Return to the original Search Console New beta features So far we can see that in the left menu there is "Status", "Sitemaps", and " Coming soon... ". image Currently available menu in beta version In the "Sitemaps" section, there is no new data compared to the original Search Console. If Google surprises us and offers something bonus, we'll see.
So let's take a closer look at the first part "Status", which offers us much more. Performance – new look for search analytics and time period expansion In this section, we can currently choose two areas - Performance and Index Coverage. The Performance section in the Beta version corresponds to the "Search Analysis" tab in the old Search Console. Well, at first glance. On closer inspection, we find that it differs from the old version not only in a more friendly interface and an eye-pleasing design, but also in several useful improvements . Just as we were used to with the classic Search Console, here too we see an overview of views, clicks, CTR and average positions with the option to click either all or only selected metrics using colored boxes. image E.g. here we only displayed clicks and average CTR, which was also reflected in the graph.
