“Nothing in life is free.” For sure, you’ve heard this line a lot of times already. Though this may be true to some, but for those who are running a website and constantly looking for ways to improve it, this is far from reality. Why? Because there are lots of free Google webmasters tools available on the web.
Webmasters tools provide so many benefits in the proper development of your website. One of which is to help you understand how your website is being searched by Google and how you can make it more Google-friendly. However, some people have second thoughts about using them because they don’t want to pay for certain fees. Little do they know that there are actually a lot of resources from the web that they can use for free.
Here are some of these free tools that you might want to check out: diagnostics, statistics, links, and sitemaps. From the four, it’s the diagnostics tool that shows you what errors or problems Google encounters while crawling your website. It deals mainly with web crawl, mobile crawl, and content analysis.
The statistics tool, on the other hand, is used to know your site’s top search queries, crawl stats, subscriber stats, index stats, and what Googlebot sees. This is a really interesting part of the Google webmasters tools because it allows you to see how visitors arrive at your site, how many click on your site link, and when it was crawled.
How about the links tool? Well, this is the one that monitors the pages with external links, pages with internal links, and site links. This also shows what pages on the site the other sites linked to and what pages link to other internal pages.
Lastly, there’s the sitemaps tool, indicating the pages of your site and letting Google know about these so it can crawl and index them easier and faster.
After knowing that these four webmasters tools from Google are free, why not take advantage of them? No need to think twice, act now!
