Search Console

Google's dashboard for how it sees your site.

You verify ownership with a DNS TXT record or an HTML tag, then submit your sitemap. Search Console shows which pages are indexed and why others aren't, which searches you appear for, your Core Web Vitals and any problems with your structured data. Bing Webmaster Tools does the same for Bing, which also supplies results to several AI assistants.
