The Google index is like a giant library with all the websites that appear in the Google search results. When you search for something on Google, it looks through this library to find the most relevant websites to show you.

Google Search Console

Google Search Console (GSC) is a tool with which you can see how your website is performing in Google. It shows traffic related data, and identifies any issues that may affect your site's rankings.

Robots.txt

Robots.txt is a file that tells search engines which pages on a website they are allowed to access and which ones they should not access. It helps website owners control how their website is crawled and indexed by search engines.

S

Schema Markup

Schema markup is a type of code that helps search engines understand the content on a website better. Implenting this can help improve the website's visibility in search results and gain rich snippets.
