For approximately a decade, Google has offered the ability for websites to get an account with the search engine, and this feature was called “Google Webmaster Tools”.
Today they accounted that this important web tool has been renamed to “Search Console”
Google Search Console is the only way provided for us to interact directly with Google, inform them of changes to the website, and get feedback from them indicating what they think about our site.
It’s also the only way Google can directly send webmaster important notices and warning about the site, such as if the Googlebot “spiders” (web crawlers for the index) can no longer crawl the site, detect a malware infection, an account violation, technical issues and more.
