Do you use Google Search Console for PBN, R&R..etc?

[Scroog]

PBN , R&R and website guys, since about this year making of new Google accounts got significantly more difficult, do you still use Google Search Console? I was using one per domain (to reduce the risico), but as I said in post-18850571 I'm almost unable to create new Google accounts without buying a phone number for every single one.

What's your thoughts on this? Do you use Google Search Console for your sites? Do you link more domains in single account? Or does the majority just don't use the Search Console and pump it to Google via some 3rd party indexer and than monitor the website with Ahrefs?

Thx!!

Definitely not for a PBN.

Thx! I do but than everything separate proxy+antidetect browser. Does work fine...I just like I can force Google to index 10 pages/day :-D Not sure if my new website is going work any good without Search Console...

Using GSC for PBNs can be risky, but if done carefully, it's possible. However, no matter how cautious you are, there's always some level of risk.

Well I did it good I guess ;-) Problem is more obtaining the Console accounts, seems really impossible without running lot of phone numbers. But I see most of you probably do not use it at all! Right? ;-) I just never tried, so my concerns are would it perform any good and do I get the same level of awareness for my sites without the console.

In that case yes, keeping everything separate.

10 a day is a lot but lower, more natural numbers get indexed very fast by themselves on quality network.

Thanks. I think i'm gonna give it a try without GSC (I have bunch of expired domains laying around) and if needed in the future I can always purchase phone number for site that's really worth the hassle.

Just aim for good domains and you shouldn't have indexing as a critical problem,
PBN domains must be clean and need to have a decent authority (links),
So, if you're setting the websites well (on-page), that should be tied with a good crawling rate,
Your approach could still work (proxies & anti-detect browser(s)) for the minority of the underperforming websites

Most avoid GSC for PBNs.

Yeah I see;-)..I meant more for websites in general. Mine most important do have GSC but I just wanted to add it to all than I came across this new Google phone non-sense...

Many avoid Google Search Console for PBNs to reduce footprint risk, relying instead on third-party indexers and tools for monitoring. If you must use GSC, linking multiple domains to one account increases risk, so using separate accounts per domain is safer.

I know.

Yeah, the account creation hassle for webmaster tools is a big pain now. For most projects, I group multiple sites under one account to manage things. It definitely adds risk, but saves the headache. For others, I just rely on external submission services and use independent tracking tools to check progress. No point fighting the system if there are other ways.
