    Search Console: Towards automation of technical configuration

    Learn more about our expertise Agence SEO 20/02/2026 2 min. reading Julien Soumahoro

    The integration of artificial intelligence into Google Search Console marks a major breakthrough in website technical health management. This deployment automates settings that were previously manual, transforming this diagnostic tool into a powerful proactive performance lever for advertisers and SEO managers.

    1. The end of manual control of technical configurations

    The arrival of AI-assisted configuration features in Search Console is not just a simple ergonomic update. It responds to the growing complexity of web ecosystems, where detecting markup or structuring errors is becoming a bottleneck for performance. According to our observations, poor configuration can reduce organic visibility by nearly 30% during migrations or major updates.

    Google is seeking to reduce the friction between identifying a technical problem and actually resolving it. The challenge for our customers lies in the ability of AI to suggest configuration optimisations based on actual crawl and indexing data. This shift to a “smart” configuration allows technical teams to focus on semantic architecture rather than basic maintenance. In concrete terms, the tool becomes a co-pilot capable of interpreting configuration intentions to align them with algorithm standards.

    2. Indexing optimisation: a direct impact on the crawl budget

    AI-driven automation within the console directly influences how Googlebot prioritises content. By refining configuration settings without constant human intervention, the platform optimises the crawl budget, which is critical for e-commerce sites with high page volumes. The direct impact on ROI is immediate: faster and more accurate indexing of strategic pages accelerates the rise of conversion signals.

    However, this automation requires increased monitoring of data signals. Our experts have found that delegating everything to AI can sometimes obscure strategic subtleties specific to certain niche sectors. SEO management is therefore becoming hybrid, with experts stepping in to validate AI suggestions and ensure they do not conflict with the brand’s long-term conversion strategy. The Search Engine Results Page (SERP) is no longer a static space, but a shifting ecosystem where the speed of configuration dictates position.

    3. Synergy between technical data and business performance

    This evolution of Search Console is part of a broader trend: the merging of technical analysis and data-driven performance. By facilitating access to optimal configuration, Google enables brands to better connect their SEO efforts with their SEA objectives. Optimisation is no longer solely about pages, but about the ability of content to fuel a deep understanding of Google’s language models.

    The challenge is no longer just to be indexed, but to be understood by Google’s AI in order to appear relevant in new generative search formats. Companies that are able to feed the Google ecosystem with flawless technical configurations benefit from enhanced visibility. This shift transforms Search Console into a business intelligence tool, where each configuration adjustment must be thought of as an indirect advertising investment aimed at maximising the value of each visit.
