Google Search Console is Google's free tool for site owners. It reports which pages are indexed and why others are not, Core Web Vitals from real Chrome users, structured data errors for products, reviews and FAQs, manual actions, and the queries that bring clicks. No third-party crawler has this data, because it comes from Google itself. It will not crawl your site on demand or fix anything, and its reports lag by a few days. Its Merchant listings and Product snippets reports show exactly which products lose rich results.
