Turn Off Some Types of Notifications in Google Search Console

at PST By

ggsc notificationsIf you are tired about being notified for what you consider to be “unimportant” notifications from Search Console, Google has announced that you can now disable some types of notifications from being emailed to you.

Here are the ones you can opt out of:

To opt out, there should be an option in the email notification you receive, and you turn off that specific notification there.

Interestingly, you cannot opt-out of receiving each kind until you actually receive one.  So you will still have to receive the first one before you can opt out if it.

You also cannot mute notifications of the notices Google deems as critical, such as manual actions, new owner alerts and notices of a site being hacked.

I would be wary about opting out of these, unless you are getting spammed with them.  These notices can be the first notification to a site owner that something is wrong.

Google has more about this option in their help files too.
