    You as the software developer of Google Site Kit.
    
    the Search Console connection service is bad, and completely unnecessary as you
    have designed it now.
    
    - - -
    I don't see any advantages.
    I have to log into the Search Console and I'm just in trouble.
    
    faulty website coverage:
    Pages must be added to the Google index manually.
    I also have to request crawling and indexing manually.
    when I rearrange the homepage structure I only have errors:
    - (Alternative page with correct canonical tag)
    - (crawled - currently not indexed)
    - (Duplicate - Google determined a different page than the user to be the canonical page)
    - (duplicate - submitted url not set as canonical)
    
    One thing that works well:
    Site map is updated daily.
    
    - - -
    Please take care of the further development of my solutions Change requests:
    
    I installed your software as a program application directly in WordPress.
    
    The software can access everything. It should therefore create the data itself and then transmit it.
    
    (Option 1 - now immediately)
    *> possible once a day
    
    (Option - automatic)
    *> always once a week?
    *> always every 10 days?
    
    Additional function:
    *> if a last modified took place today.
    *> the data transfer takes place today, at a time determined by you, always 23:50?

    Thanks for getting in touch. Looking at your comments it sounds like you’re not happy with the Search Console service, and not specifically the Site Kit service. Site Kit provides a mechanism for verifying a site with Search Console, as opposed to manually verifying a site, while also showing data from within your Site Kit dashboard based on information pulled from Search Console.

    Once Search Console has been connected via Site Kit then all URLs that form part of your WordPress site are eligible to be included in Search Console reports, there is no need to manually submit URLs for indexing on Search Console. If you’re finding some URLs are not being indexed check your sitemap or use the Search Console URL inspection tool, while also checking for any robots.txt issues.

    If you’re looking to submit a feature request for recrawling users sites for frequently feel free to submit such a request to the plugins GitHub repository. While all feature requests go through a review process you may also be interested to know that if you’re unhappy with the frequency of updates to Search Console for your site you can use this resource for more information. WordPress by default also uses Ping-o-Matic to update services after you update your site.

    Note also that when you refer to your Site Kit updating daily a sitemap isn’t part of the Site Kit plugin, with sitemaps being part of WordPress core since version 5.5 was released.
