HOW TO ADD YOUR WEBSITE TO GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE

First you need to visit the Google Search Console website and then click on the ‘Start Now’ button.

Next, you’ll need to sign in with your Google/Gmail account. Once you logged in, you’ll be asked to enter your website URL.

There are two methods for verification of the site: Domain Name or URL Prefix. The URL prefix method is recommended because it is more flexible.

After entering your website address in the Google Search Console setup wizard correctly, click on the ‘Continue’ button. Then you’ll be asked to verify ownership of your website.

There are several ways to do that, but the HTML tag method is recommended because it is the easiest one. You need to click on the HTML tag to expand it and then copy the code inside it.

Click on the ‘Save’ button to store your changes. Now you can go back to Google Search Console settings and then click on the ‘Verify’ button.

Now Google Search Console will look for the HTML tag in your website code and then will show you a success message.

If you don’t see any success message, then you need to clear your cache to ensure that Google can fetch the latest version of your website.

Now you have successfully added your site to the Google Search Console. So, you can click on the ‘Go to Property’ link to visit your Google Search Console dashboard and from here you can see your website’s performance reports.
