What is Google Search Console and what does it do?

Google search console is a free tool offered by Google that tells you the health of your website. It tells you:

1. Monitor website and server errors
2. Measure your site’s search traffic and performance, for example, which keywords you are ranking for?
3. Is your site mobile optimized?
4. Allow you to submit sitemaps to help Google crawl your site
