How to Add Your Website to Google Search Console

Google Search Console is a free tool that helps Google find your site and shows you how it's performing in search. Setting it up is the first thing you should do after launching. Here's how.

1. Sign in and add your site

Go to Google Search Console, sign in with a Google account, and add your website's address as a new property.

2. Verify ownership

Google asks you to prove the site is yours, usually by adding a small verification code or connecting your domain. Your website builder makes this simple.

3. Submit your sitemap

Add your sitemap URL so Google can find all your pages quickly.

4. Watch your performance

• See which searches bring visitors to your site.
• Spot and fix any indexing issues.
• Request indexing for new or updated pages.
