Google Search Console Quick Wins for Bloggers

If Search Console is already set up, you can find quick SEO wins in under 30 minutes. This guide shows where to look and what to fix first.

1) Fix high-impression, low-CTR pages

Go to Performance, then:

• Filter queries or pages with high impressions.
• Sort by low CTR.

Update:

• Title to match search intent.
• Meta description to promise a clear benefit.
• Add a missing section that top results cover.

2) Improve pages marked as "Crawled - currently not indexed"

In the Pages report:

• Open the exclusion group.
• Find thin or duplicate pages.

Actions:

• Expand the content with unique value.
• Add internal links from related posts.
• Consolidate near-duplicate pages.

3) Clean up 404s and soft 404s

Broken pages hurt trust and waste crawl budget.

• Redirect removed posts to the closest relevant page.
• Fix internal links that point to deleted URLs.

4) Strengthen internal linking

Search Console shows which pages get impressions but no clicks. Link to those pages from:

• Your highest traffic posts
• Related category pages
• Contextual mentions inside new content

5) Watch Core Web Vitals

If many URLs are "Poor," fix the root template:

• Compress large images.
• Reduce third-party scripts.
• Avoid layout shifts on load.

One template fix can improve many pages at once.

Simple weekly routine

• Review Performance for CTR opportunities
• Check indexing issues
• Fix one broken link batch
• Add internal links to 2-3 posts

Conclusion

Search Console is not just for monitoring. It is a steady source of quick wins when you focus on CTR, indexing, and internal links. Small improvements each week compound into real growth.
