Google Search Console 5. Link Rendering
Viewing link rendering
In some cases you may wish to look at how links are rendered. Maybe you used some structured data, so hope your links have a fancy display? Or want to reassure yourself the links are in a Google search?
The obvious way is look at the list of queries under the ‘Pages > Queries’ tab. Then run the query in a Google search. But this is not often a success. Google can be flexible how it list links and responds to configuration—are you in the same country as the user who saw your link, are you using a similar device (Google returns different results for a desktop or a mobile computer) etc.
If you want to see the look of links, there’s an easy way. Enter the domain name into Google search. Or use the common construction,
site: target‐url
Google will recognise this as a site search, and likely all the top results will come from your site (after that will be wider near‐matches). This can be handy also as a snap view of coverage.
