Product Overview

Google Search Console is the ground-truth source for how Google sees your real estate site — not a crawler estimate, not a scraper, but Google's own data. It's free, and every real estate site should have it wired up before spending a dollar on paid SEO tools. GSC shows which queries your neighborhood pages rank for, where you're losing click-through to Zillow/Realtor.com, and which pages Google has indexed. Best paired with GA4 (traffic) and a keyword research tool (Semrush/Ahrefs) for full picture.
