How to Fix 'Not Found (404)' Errors in Google Search Console

Most small business owners have Google Search Console set up wrong — if they have it at all. The result: pages don't get indexed, errors pile up, and Google starts treating your site like it's broken. Here's how to fix the most common problems.

Why This Matters

Google Search Console (and its Bing counterpart, Webmaster Tools) is how Google tells you what's wrong with your site. Ignoring it means flying blind. Active issues compound over time — what's a small problem today becomes a ranking disaster in six months.

The Common Fixes

Most issues come down to: stale sitemaps, broken redirects, missing schema markup, mobile usability errors, or pages blocked by robots.txt. Each has a specific fix and a specific impact on your rankings.

What We Do for Clients

Our SEO packages include monthly Google Search Console audits and Bing Webmaster Tools management. We monitor indexing status, fix errors as they appear, and submit new pages for indexing. All for less than what most agencies charge just to set GSC up once.
