The Google webmaster tool was once known as Google Search Console. It is the fundamental instrument utilised in the SEO process. It serves as a channel of communication between the user and Google as well as a free tool offered by Google. Google can notify consumers about faults and errors in a webpage using this technology. The search console is treated by Google as a joke.
It is a Google web service. XML site maps are used in the search console. According to Google, the search panel serves as a mock point. The Google webmaster tool is called the search console. Google released a new search console version in 2018. It is suitable for commercial use. We can check both the ranking and user interactions on the site using the search console tool. Here, we can choose a preferred domain and URL.
The search console is a tool that also showed how frequently people were visiting our website. Using search console, we can determine whether the meta description we utilised is redundant or excessive. It's a free Google tool. This can be used to control the website. If any errors, such as crawling problems, loading problems, broken links, or issues with device compactability, occur on the website. It is simple to spot while checking the webpage through search console.
Site Map
The sitemap is an XML file as well. The material connected to our website is submitted using the sitemap. The site map is an XML file, making it simple for Google to read. There is no lag in time. For ranking purposes, a specific URL can be validated through the site map. The number of URLs that can be added to the site map is capped at 50,000. The sitemap can only hold a maximum of 10 megabytes in size. Otherwise, the URL for the verification can be split. The site map is also available in a zip format. The site map must include every URL on our website, along with their priority, frequency of changes, and the date that they were last edited.
Google Search Console Verification Overview
You can add two different kinds of properties to Google Search Console: domain properties and URL prefix properties. There is only one verification technique accessible for domain properties, and that is DNS Verification. You may use DNS verification for URL prefix property, yes. There are, however, a number of simpler verification techniques accessible.
1) DNS Verification via Google Search Console
This entails adding a TXT or CNAME record to the domain name provider list for the website. You must manually add the text record that Google offers by signing into your account with the domain name provider.
2) HTML File Upload Verification for Google Search Console
Upload a particular HTML file to a specific spot on your website to prove ownership of a site. This file has a user associated with it. Refer to the verification information page's instructions. You will lose site verification if you delete this verification file from your website.
Steps
1) If you are using a website hosting platform, see the help pages of your provider for detailed information on how to authenticate your site on Search Console. Go to the next stages if you are unable to find any information.
2) On the page for your property's ownership verification, select the HTML file upload option.
3) Download the verification file that is offered. This file is connected to your Gmail account and is specific to you; it cannot be used to identify anybody else.
4) To make the verification file accessible at the address listed on the verification details page, upload it to your website. Usually, this is where your property's root directory is located. (For example, if the file you gave has the name 1234.txt and you identified your property as https://example.com, then you can browse the file at https://example.com/1234.txt.) When searching for this file, Search Console does not follow redirects. If necessary, you can add newlines at the end of the file body, but do not change the file's name or contents in any other way.
5) Make sure you can see the file by going to the URL supplied by the Search Console verification step in your browser. If your browser cannot access the file at that URL, Google won't be able to find it for verification purposes. Make sure you can view it without logging in by opening a browser incognito window.
6) On the verification information screen, click Verify to finish the verification process.
3) Verification via Google Search Console: HTML Tag
This is another another easy technique. All you have to do is include a snippet in your homepage's HTML code. The head> portion of your homepage must be updated to include the meta tag provided by Google. Save the page after adding the tag, and then click "Verify" in the Search Console popup. Please make sure that your homepage is available on the open internet and does not require login.
4) Google Analytics Verification: Google Search Console
If you've already added your website to Google Analytics, an analytics.js or gtag.js snippet will be included in the head>/head> portion of your homepage file. The verification is usually automated if you have the 'Edit' permission for the Google Analytics property. All you have to do to make it happen automatically is click Verify. Google will simply match accounts that have edit access to the property associated with the snippet with accounts who are attempting to verify websites.
5) Google Tag Manager Verification in Google Search Console
Similar to the integration of Google Analytics that was previously covered. The container snippet will appear on your website's main page if you have a Tag Manager account. Simply log in to the Search Console with a Google Tag Manager account that has edit access to the one where the aforementioned container snippet was created. And all you have to do is click "Verify."
