That is beneficial to target such keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, the main question here arises is\u2026. \u201cHow do you find such keywords from GSC?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I can explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most famous SEO & WEB STRATEGIST, Lynn Hericks says, <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201coptimizing and expanding old blogs on your site by using keywords that are already working!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where you will find the keywords that are worth targeting for SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the Performance section of Google Search Console, filter your queries by page to see what terms a blog already ranks for\u2014find relevant keywords that rank on average in positions 8-20 (a term that you weren\u2019t necessarily targeting directly, but your content still shows up for).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like This\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n Now, check out some of those terms on which your page is ranking for position from 1-20\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are the relevant keywords that need to be focused on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the best way to optimize your blog which may get you highly relevant and organic traffic<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read More: Tips For SEO Keyword Research: Tools & Examples<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The indexing and crawling can be checked by Google search console for SEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you know even before ranking, your pages get crawled and indexed by Google?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your pages are not even indexed, what\u2019s the point of expecting the ranking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n see… this is how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n Now, you might be wondering: how would you get to know if your page got crawled and indexed by Google or not? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The one way is, you simply take the URL and put \u201csite:\u201d before the URL and search it on Google\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like This:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see results like this, that means the page got indexed<\/p>\n\n\n\n And\u2026 if you see the result like this, the page is not indexed<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you can also check it from Google Search Console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is how it is done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check Below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1: Click on URL inspection <\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2: Paste the URL above <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the URL is indexed, it will be shown like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it is not indexed\u2026 It will be shown like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n And\u2026 if you see the interface like this\u2026 you can add your web page to the indexing queue by clicking on the button REQUEST INDEXING. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is also how you can use Google Search Console for SEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me explain: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you understand why we add sitemaps\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, we add citations to let Google know where are the important parts in our website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It also suggests the Google crawler how to crawl the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I personally recommend that everyone must submit their sitemaps to Google Search Console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Submitting the sitemap is quite easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To do that, <\/p>\n\n\n\n You just need to click on sitemaps, then type the sitemap that you wish to submit and finally just click on the \u201cSUBMIT\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is how we submit images as well<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And, finally\u2026 you will get a message like this.<\/p>\n\n\n As you must have known that backlink is the most important factor for rankings and traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you must have more backlinks in order to get high traffic<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, you might be wondering: How can I use Google search console for SEO backlinks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, believe me… you can!
