Why not just use Search Console?
It's free and accurate — and you should use it. Here's exactly what PageRankStatus adds alongside it, and what we promise never to fabricate.
Search Console is great. So why pay for anything?
Google Search Console is free and accurate — you should absolutely use it. But it’s a reporting tool: it tells you what Google already did, one site at a time, and leaves the “so what do I do now?” to you. PageRankStatus works the other side: our own crawler verifies what you can control — whether a page is indexable at all — and turns it into a workflow with fixes, content planning and AI writing.
| Google Search Console | PageRankStatus | |
|---|---|---|
| What it measures | What Google indexed and how it performed — after the fact | Whether each page CAN be indexed — checked directly, fixable today |
| Setup | Google account + ownership verification per property | Add a domain — no Google account, no OAuth, checking in minutes |
| Multiple sites | One property at a time, manual switching | Every site you own in one unified dashboard |
| Sitemap insight | Submitted / status only | Every URL verified — status, redirects, noindex, robots, canonicals — with a “Why?” per problem |
| Keywords | No dedicated tooling | Keyword sets you can organize and expand automatically with AI |
| Content | None | Content planner, AI article writer, and page SEO audit |
| Alerts | Minimal | On-demand indexability verdict for any URL, with the fix |
| Next step | You read the data, then work out what to do | Check → reason → concrete fix, all in one console |
In one line
Search Console tells you what Google did. We verify what your pages let Google do — and turn it into what to do next, across every site, alongside your keywords and content.
What we will never do
We never fabricate a PageRank or “authority” number. Google stopped updating public PageRank in 2016 and there is no API for it. Every status we show is measured by our own crawler and labeled as a local check — we say “indexable”, never pretend to know Google’s private index — so every decision you make rests on something real.
