Google Search Central launches tool to identify low-quality pages

What happened?

Google Search Central has launched a new tool to help site owners identify pages that may be considered low-quality and not in line with Google's Search Essentials. This tool is designed to assist site owners in improving the quality of their content and ensuring that their pages meet Google's standards for relevance, authority, and purpose.

Why it matters

Google's new tool provides site owners with a valuable opportunity to assess the quality of their pages and make necessary improvements to enhance their visibility in search results. By addressing low-quality content, site owners can increase their chances of ranking higher in relevant searches and attracting more organic traffic to their websites.

How the tool works

The tool is available through Google Search Console and can be accessed by site owners who have verified their websites. Once accessed, the tool scans a site's pages and identifies those that may not meet Google's quality standards. Site owners can then review the identified pages and make appropriate changes to improve their quality.

Steps to take

• Verify your website with Google Search Console.
• Access the new "Low-Quality Pages" report in Google Search Console.
• Review the identified pages and assess their quality.
• Make necessary improvements to enhance the quality of the pages.
• Monitor your website's performance and make ongoing improvements as needed.
