Google Search Console Updates Data Anomalies Page

at PST By

data anomalies search console3Google Search Console has made a small change to their Data Anomalies page in order to split different types of reporting into separate drop down menus.

Prior to the change, the Data Anomalies page just listed “Search Analytics Report” but now it includes three additional sections.  The added ones are “Mobile Usability Report”, “Blocked Resources Report” and “International Targeting Report.”

Here is a screenshot of the new look:

There is a screenshot in this article showing just the single “Search Analytics Report” section.

The only unfortunate thing about the new change is that all 4 sections are hidden by default and you must individually expand each one to view.

It is nice to see them continue to update this section though, especially for times when people notice reporting seems off.  They don’t seem to include all issues we have noticed previously though, such as the issue we saw earlier this year where the number of indexed, nor when they change how reporting numbers is tracked.
