We have been covering the Google Search Console a lot since the roll out of the new beta version. The theme I keep seeing come up time and time again is that the new version is missing too many reports, which doesn’t make it worthwhile using.

Honestly, that response bugs me. Google has said they are going to migrate reports over, and this is just a beta. So give it time. Google also is not removing access to the current/old Search Console, so you can use both reporting tools. The new beta gives you a different way to access similar reports and new and unique ways to understand and act on that data. It has a huge benefit, as does the old tool.

Now, Google posted a survey asking webmasters, SEOs, etc to let them know which reports you “need most” to be migrated from the old Search Console to the new one. The options currently include:

Structured Data
Rich Cards
Data Highlighter
HTML Improvements
Accelerated Mobile Pages report
Links to Your Site
Internal Links
Manual Actions
International Targeting
Mobile Usability
Blocked Resources
Remove URLs
Crawl Stats report
Fetch as Google
Robots.txt Tester
URL Parameters
Security Issues

Google also explained again why reports are missing:

We haven’t migrated it yet. (Most likely reason)We’re in the process of building the new Search Console, and it will take sometime. Most likely your favorite report (or some version of it) will be in the new Search Console in the coming quarters.
We’ve found a better way to present thatdata. We won’t migrate every report in exactly the same way if we’ve found a better way to present the same data. In some cases, we might combine a few different types of data together, or we might include the report as part of a flow, rather than a top-level report by itself. Whatever the case, we won’t stop showing data that is important to our users; we just might show it in a new, more useful way.

So go ahead and let Google know which reports you want.
