Introduction

Google Search Console is a must-have tool (along with Google Analytics) for giving you insights into your website, but you’ll also use it every time you create a new post or page or edit an existing one.

This is because one of GSC’s main functions is to submit URLs to Googlebot so that it crawls and indexes them much faster than if you leave it to find them by itself.

You should already have a Google account. It’s the starting point for everything Google.

You should also have Google Analytics attached to your Google account for all websites that you want to use GSC on. This will allow auto-verification of the sites for GSC.

I covered creating a Google account and Google Analytics in the first part of the training course https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-set-up-and-use-google-analytics-part-1. Please refer to that if you need to create your Google account and/or Google Analytics now.
