What is Google Search Console?
Google Search Console reports how a verified website appears in Google Search and provides tools for inspecting URLs, submitting sitemaps and investigating indexing issues. It measures an owned property rather than a competitor database. A successful sitemap submission is a discovery signal; it does not mean that every submitted URL has been indexed or will rank for a particular query.
