Google has fully rolled out its recommendations section within Google Search Console. Google launched it as an experimental feature back in August and has now fully rolled out the feature to all profiles within Google Search Console.
What is new. Google announced this morning that this feature is fully rolled out. Google said, “We’re happy to let you know that Recommendations are now available to everyone!”
Why don’t I see it. Google did add, “note that you’ll see them only if we have a recommendation available for your website.” So if you don’t see it, Google currently has nothing to recommend.
What is 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 are some screenshots from profiles I have access to that have these recommendations:
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.
Of course, do not just blindly adopt these recommendations. You know your site best, and if you run a news publishing site and Google recommends you show products on your site, well, it might not be the best recommendation.
