Shows which queries bring users to your site, click-through rates, average position

Index coverage: which pages are indexed, which are excluded, and why (crawl errors, noindex, redirects)

Submit sitemaps, request indexing of new/updated URLs

Core Web Vitals report: page speed, interactivity, visual stability (real user data, not synthetic)

Manual actions: alerts if Google penalizes your site for spam, cloaking, or other violations

Not analytics (no session duration, no bounce rate — that's Google Analytics). Not server management (that's Google Cloud Console)
