How do I find and fix 404 errors in Google Search Console?

In the Pages report, look for the "Not found (404)" status under the Error category. Click it to see all affected URLs. For each one:

Should the page exist?

Restore the page, or redirect it to the most relevant existing page using a 301 redirect.

Is the 404 intentional?

You can leave it - Google will eventually drop it from the index. Only prioritize fixing 404s that have backlinks pointing to them or that were previously high-traffic pages.

Not all 404s are bad. Fixing every 404 is not necessary - focus on the ones that matter for SEO and user experience.
