How can the Google Search Console insights report benefit SEO activity?
Content is key to search engine optimisation (SEO). Google uses the content on a website to determine where a page should appear in search results. The more visible you are in search engines, the more likely you are to receive organic traffic.
The Search Console insights report can help to ensure the traffic you receive is relevant, by helping to reveal what keywords your target audiences are using to reach your website. Identifying where a user is in the buying journey can help to ensure you appear for keywords more likely to result in a conversion.
