Getting Started
If you don’t have a Google Account then we probably can’t be friends, just kidding. You should go sign up for that now! You need it for search console, but having a Google account comes with a lot of awesome benefits you should take advantage of. Some of my favorites (besides Search Console & Analytics) are One Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and plenty more but lets not get distracted!
Once you have an account and you sign in, you will be on the home page like below. *Note* Your computer is not bugging out, I just will be occasionally whiting out certain parts of my screen shots. I'm only doing this because our posts get indexed into Google and you never know who's eyes are on our information.
Anyways!
Go ahead and click Add a Property
Type in your URL
Most sites from WordPress come standard without the www so you can enter your site in this way. If you're unsure about which way your site is set up, just type your URL name into Google and see how they indexed it. Whichever way they indexed is what they prefer.
Cool you added your site. Time for verification!
Quick question, Does the email address used for site id and the email address of the Google account need to be the same?
I wanted to use the easy method, as I am not comfortable with adding code yet- know I can do it, but was just wanting to funnel the information from Google to another account.
Thank you,
Sami
My fault I'm sure.
