Join us, your hosts Crystal Waddell and Brittany Herzberg, as we discuss how to read and understand the data generated, and how to use such insights to strengthen your website's performance.

1. The Google Product Suite Products We Love To Use.

• Google Search Console integrates with Google's other services. 
• Google Analytics and Google Looker Studio.

• These insights assist in content creation to drive more site traffic.
• Index Coverage indicates which pages are visible on search engines.
• Mobile usability is essential as most users access websites via mobile.
• We discuss the importance of submitting a sitemap.
• We identify the 'linking domains and internal links' feature.
