Google Search Console is rolling out recommendations within Google Search Console for some users. Google said this is an experimental feature and gives you insights and recommendations to improve your site’s performance on Google Search.

What are Search Console recommendations. Search Console recommendations is a “feature that provides websites with optimization opportunities and suggests actions they can take to improve their presence on Google Search,” Google wrote.

Recommendations offer you tips to help with indexing, crawling and serving based on the data Google collects in Search Console. “The data was already available to you on Search Console, but now we’re helping to make it more accessible by providing direct recommendations,” Google added.

Google updates the recommendations on a “regular basis and may expire or change details over time,” Google added. If Google does not have any recommendations, Google will show none.

You can learn more in this help document.

What it looks like. Here is a screenshot from Google of these new recommendations in Search Console:

Why we care. These recommendations may provide insights into improving your sites or client site’s indexing, scrawling and serving in Google Search. Some may be obvious to experienced SEOs, some may prove to not be too helpful, while others may be super helpful.

Keep on the look out for these recommendations in Search Console.
