What is Google Search Console?
Google Console is a very helpful tool to understand the performance of your websites. It helps you in tracking the page wise report. It is different from Google Analytics and supplements the GA analysis by providing more granular content.
I am sharing a screenshot of Google console for you to understand:
Coming to the main topic.
Connect your website to Google Search Console in 5 steps:
Step 1: Go to Google Search console homepage
https://search.google.com/search-console
Step 2: Enter your website address in the Domain tab (left side)
Step 3: You will reach at below step. Copy the TXT part. This needs to be entered into your DNS (Domain Network System) configuration.
Step 4. How to paste the TXT record into your DNS configuration.
I will explain with example of Hostinger, because my domain is being managed by Hostinger. Please note that Hostinger is not my domain registrar but it provides built in interface for making any changes in DNS records. For other cases, please visit your registrar. In case you do not know your domain registrar please visit this link: https://lookup.icann.org/en
Now for Hostinger, go to https://hpanel.hostinger.com/
hpanel is the platform through which various services are provided at Hostinger platform.
Go to Domains.
Then Go to DNS/Nameservers. From here you can manage your DNS records.
As per the Google Console instruction, for verification we need to create a TXT record and paste the content given at Console page.
This can be done by selecting “TXT” type from Manage DNS records section. Add TXT text in “Points to” section and then click “Add Record”
Step 5: After you have created the TXT records into your DNS records, go back to Search console page and click Verify.
You will be able to see that your property verification is complete and you can see the analysis through console.
I hope you will be able to connect your website with Console easily now.
