Google Search Console

Also called: GSC, Search Console

Search Console covers a website you control, so it applies to a creator running a blog, a shop or a landing page beside the channel. Verify the domain and you get the queries people used to find you, the pages they arrived on, average position, and a list of URLs Google declined to index with a reason attached.

It says nothing about your YouTube channel, which reports separately in Studio. Most creators get their value from checking which written pages already pull search traffic and making videos answering those same questions.
