The new update I saw on my sesrch console allows one to link their Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and/or Tiktok accounts.


Check yours.

We might soon be able to effectively drive clicks through social media accounts
 
That's a good take, and honestly if Google keeps pushing this further, social profiles could turn into a real source of traffic down the line. Might as well start linking them now while it's still cheap to do.
 
google is tightening the loop between search and social signals, so connecting socials in search console could help you get more visibility and clicks.
 
But how? Is it the same as adding a new property option, or does it need some other steps?
Yes, just click 'add property' and you'll get the popup below

Then select the property you want to add by clicking it and continuing, you'll eventually be prompted to login on that account/profile.
 
Let me check this, it's cool, but that gives Google more clue about publishers' lives
 
That's a useful update. Linking social profiles in Search Console could help strengthen your brand presence in search results and make it easier for users to discover your official accounts. I'll definitely be checking if it's available on my properties.
 
This looks like a useful addition for tracking your brand overall presence, especially if you are active on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or LinkedIn. I do not think connecting social media accounts will improve rankings by itself, but having everything in one place makes it easier to monitor how your brand appears in Google Search.
