Google Search just got a bit more social-savvy, and here’s why it matters: You can now track how much traffic is flowing from Google to your favorite social media profiles like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. This is a big win for content creators and social media managers who want to see which posts are driving the most clicks.
The update to Google Search Console means you can now set up a new property type to track this social traffic. You’ll get access to a performance report that breaks down your total clicks and impressions, and you can even export this data if you like crunching numbers elsewhere. Plus, there’s an insights report for a quick look at recent trends and a way to celebrate your milestones—like reaching a new clicks record from Google Search in the past month.
This change is already live, and you can start tracking your social traffic by heading to the Search Console verification page. With Google’s push into social, it’s a good reminder that tech giants are always shaking things up.
