THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN THE SEARCH CONSOLE’S HISTORY. GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE You see, the new version of Google Search Console was launched and was readily available to all users early this year. However, it has been in beta until now because it doesn’t have all the necessary features available in the older version. The new version of Google Search Console is now able to graduate out of beta because it now supports, in an improved way, the most common use cases.
AT THE BEGINNING OF 2018 In 2017, the new Google Search Console experience was first released to a limited number of users. At the beginning of 2018, the beta version was accessible to all users of Google Search Console “so that everyone can explore the simplified process of optimising a website’s presence on Google Search”.
