• It lets you preview your Google search snippet on desktop and mobile to make sure everything fits and a featured image is present;
• It scores your page on how well it’s optimized around your keyword, readability.

You’re already using Google Analytics to review key website metrics as well as to make data-informed decisions for future design improvements. But did you know you can add Google Search Console data to your Google Analytics dashboard, too?

from here, you can pull data on:

• Landing page traffic and performance;
• Geo-specific data;
• Device-specific data;
• Search queries and click-through rates.

There’s more to SEO than just link building and keyword optimization. Google looks for other trust and authority signals, too, when determining the rank of a website. And, as a web designer, you’re in the best position to handle this side of SEO.
