    Hey guys, I am being told the 'Fetch as google' option in the 'Search Console' allows you to see how your site looks in the serp, I enter my site into the filed and choose 'fetch and render' but I am not seeing it redirecting me to google, how is this supposed to work please?

    From my searches it seems all of these tools are keyword checkers? I am not seeing an option to see how my site looks on google so if my new site is not ranked yet then no way I can it in google search results.
