5.1.3 [BONUS] Visibility of your Personal Website - Google Search Console

A LinkedIn profile depends on an algorithm. A website is your own stage.

Google Search Console breaks SEO into three signals you can actually act on.

Personal websites compound differently from social platforms. They rank in Google, collect traffic over time, and position you as a credible authority once they start ranking. The challenge is knowing whether they're being found at all, and Google Search Console reduces the question to three signals. Impressions show how many times your site appeared in Google search results. Clicks show how many people actually chose your result over the alternatives, with click-through rate as the meaningful ratio. Average position shows your competitiveness, with positions one to three capturing fifty to seventy percent of clicks and positions eleven to twenty being the prime targets for optimisation onto page one.

The three Google Search Console signals worth tracking:

  • Impressions, the visibility potential of your content
  • Clicks, the audience choice signal that turns visibility into traffic
  • Average position, the competitiveness measure that decides your share

In this video, Des walks through each signal, the benchmarks across industries, and the practical adjustments that move keywords from page two onto page one and lift click-through rate from average to strong.

Most brands give up on SEO before it compounds.

That's what this bonus video makes manageable.
