Is the Google Search Console skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from kostja94/marketing-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Google Search Console SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Google Search Console?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Google Search Console with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 21, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 5eb0044

Fetched the raw SKILL.md (single self-contained file, no bundled scripts; frontmatter parses with name+description). Verified install into a temp HOME: SKILL.md lands at ~/.claude/skills/google-search-console/SKILL.md. Ran the same sample GSC export (4 pages + an indexing spike coinciding with a template deploy) through a baseline analysis and a skill-followed one. The skill version applied the CTR-by-position benchmark table to quantify gaps (position 3, 1% actual vs 8-12% expected → ~+560 clicks/mo), added an AI-Overviews caveat, applied a 1,000-impression floor, and prescribed the isolate/drill/URL-inspect indexing workflow — concretely richer than the baseline's vague "improve the titles." No security smells found.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 8/10
Docs & honesty 4/5

What Google Search Console does

A methodology skill for analyzing Google Search Console data: performance metrics, CTR-vs-position benchmarks, page indexing (Coverage), sitemaps, Core Web Vitals, Enhancements, and the searchanalytics.query API. Triggers when the user mentions GSC, Search Console, impressions, CTR, average position, index coverage, or the Search Console API and wants the data interpreted rather than title tags rewritten. Produces a structured report with actual-vs-expected CTR gaps, prioritized title/meta opportunities, and release-correlated action items.

How to install Google Search Console

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills.git /tmp/google-search-console-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/google-search-console-src/skills/analytics/seo/google-search-console ~/.claude/skills/google-search-console
# Pure knowledge/methodology skill: single SKILL.md, no scripts, deps, or API keys to load.
# To pull live GSC data you supply your own Search Console API access; the skill only guides analysis.
# Some cross-referenced sibling skills (title-tag, meta-description, schema-markup, xml-sitemap) are NOT in this repo — advisory references only, do not affect install.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
