About this product
Many freelancers only open Google Search Console when a client panics. This playbook turns it into a routine: set client sites up properly, check them every week, audit them every month, fix indexing problems quickly and send reports clients can follow.
Every Search Console feature, limit and status in the guide was checked against Google's Search Console Help and the Search Central blog on 2 November 2026, and the sources are listed.
What you get
A 24-page PDF playbook. It puts Search Console on one page, then covers setup and access, the Performance report, Core Web Vitals, security, removals and a 10-step diagnosis for "our traffic dropped".
A 63-point audit checklist in five phases: onboarding a new client, a 10-minute weekly check, a monthly audit, a quarterly deep dive, and migrations and redesigns.
A fix guide for all 17 page-indexing statuses: what each one means, whether it is a problem and what to do.
8 opportunity plays, including queries just off page one, pages with low click-through, content that is losing traffic and two pages competing for the same query.
20 regex filters for the Performance report, covering questions, long-tail queries, brand, buying intent, location and URL groups.
A client tracker spreadsheet with 9 tabs. Paste an export and it flags striking-distance queries, low CTR and declining pages. It also tracks monthly KPIs and non-branded clicks, logs indexing issues and schedules every checklist task.
A monthly client report template in Word with 8 sections, and 8 client emails, including requesting access, DNS verification, the monthly report, a dip in traffic, indexing questions and handover.
6 AI prompts for summarising Search Console exports, and a plain-text copy of the regex filters.
Who it suits
Freelance SEOs, web designers and developers who look after client websites, small agencies that want one Search Console process, and site owners who want to understand what Search Console is telling them.
What to know first
The ZIP holds the PDF guide and a quick start, the tracker (Excel, Google Sheets and LibreOffice), 2 Word templates and a text file with the regex filters and prompts.
Checklists, thresholds, plays and templates are CoreCodify's recommendations, and Google's facts are labelled with their sources. The example client and all numbers in the tracker are fictional. No ranking, indexing or traffic result is guaranteed.
