Legacy Tools and Reports
Older tools and reports are only available to users with a verified prefix, not a domain-wide service. In this tab we can go to the Web Tools page where we can find:
ad visibility reports (desktop and mobile versions),
misleading elements report,
misleading notifications report.
Links
The "Links" tab in Google Search Console (GSC) shows you instagram database information about links to your site and internal links. You can see which sites are linking to your page, what anchor text is being used, and how internal links are distributed on the page.
Attention:
In the case of external links, this is not a complete list of domains linking to your site, but only a selection of sites shown by Google.

Settings
While it might seem that we won't find much useful information in the settings, Google Search Console also has a lot of important data for us there.
In the settings we will find 3 sections, including General Settings , where you can check the verification status of the service, manage users and their permissions, and tell Google to change the domain or export data to BigQuery .
The next section is Crawl Statistics - this is a report on which pages crawlers go through on our site, as well as any errors (e.g. Server Error (5XX), Page Could Not Be Accessed, Other Client Error (4XX)) they may encounter. The report allows us to check if our site's Crawl Budget is not being wasted on unnecessary pages.
The last tab is Information , where you can check which robot is visiting your website and how long the service has been listed in your account.
Summary
Google Search Console is an invaluable tool for SEO professionals and website owners, allowing for deep analysis of a website’s performance in Google Search. It provides key data on indexing, errors, and organic traffic, which is essential for optimizing a website. Additionally, features like Core Web Vitals and mobile reporting are essential for improving the user experience. Submitting a sitemap and monitoring internal and external links will help improve your search engine visibility. Using GSC is therefore essential for understanding and improving your website’s online presence. However, if you don’t want to delve into the depths of this tool but are interested in increasing your site’s visibility, consider consulting an SEO specialist.
