Google Search ConsoleWe use it
Google's free console for sitemaps, indexing status, search queries and crawl problems.
Add every site as a Domain property, submit your sitemap and check the Pages report weekly. On young adult sites Google may crawl the homepage for weeks before it goes deeper; that is a link-authority problem, not something the console can fix. Use the Performance report to separate brand searches (people typing your name) from real non-brand discovery.
👍 Good

- Only source of real Google query data
