Register your website with Google

Google is still the world's leading search platform, so submitting your website to Google is a vital and necessary step in effective website SEO. When your site is indexed by Google quickly and completely, it has a better chance of appearing in search results, which increases reach and organic traffic.

When registering your website with Google, you need to do 2 things:

• Submit your website to Google.
• Verify your website with Google.

Before putting your website on Google, you need to prepare the following:

• One of these 3 permissions: website admin access, hosting management access or domain management access.
• A Google Gmail account to sign in and manage Google Search Console.

Once you have the above, follow these steps with MONA to put your site on Google:

Submit your website to Google

Step 1: Go to https://search.google.com/search-console/about (This is also where you manage your website on Google).

Step 2: Click Start now and sign in with your Gmail account.

Step 3: After signing in, you will see a prompt to choose a property type Domain or URL prefix URL.

• Domain: This gives full management of the domain, website protocols and subdomain. However, you will need to verify through DNS if you want to use this option. Detailed instructions follow below.
• URL prefix: This only gives you management of the URL prefix you enter.

***Note: Normally each website has one prefix, and each subdomain has a different topic, so you should not manage them together. We recommend choosing URL prefix here.

Step 4: Wait for Google to receive your request and verify your website.

5 effective ways to verify your website with Google

After submitting your URL to Google, you can verify your website with Google in one of these 5 simple ways:

Method 1: Insert code into the heading

Adding code to your website's heading is the easiest way to verify with Google, because you only need website admin access.

Each theme may or may not have a spot for inserting code. With WordPress, users can insert it by going to Appearance >> choose Theme Editor >> choose the theme in use >> choose header.php.

Method 2: Verify with an HTML file

If you choose to verify with HTML, Google gives you an HTML file. You will need hosting management access to open your Hosting account >> choose cPanel >> then choose File Manager >> choose the folder that holds your website data >> Upload the HTML file and click verify.

Method 3: Verify with a Google Analytics tag

If your website has already been verified with Google Analytics you can use this method. In that case, if you use WordPress SEO plugins such as Yoast SEO or Rankmath both have a place to verify Google Analytics.

Method 4: Verify with Google Tag Manager

You can also use Google tag Manager to verify your website with Google Search Console. However, you need to make sure the site is using the container code snippet and that you have Google Tag Manager management access.

Method 5: Verify with a domain DNS record

To verify your website with Google through DNS, you need management access to the domain or an intermediary DNS account such as Cloudflare. You also need to create a DNS TXT record using your domain and the configuration that Google provides.

Check whether your website appears on Google

After registering your website with Google, you can check whether it is showing on Google by typing the command "site:url”.

If your website does not appear on Google, you may be running into one of these causes:

• The website just launched and Google has not had enough time to crawl its pages.
• The site's pages are not linked to each other.
• The website design is not well optimized at the code level.

As you can see, web development at the start is an important step that must be done carefully so the site works well and Google can crawl its content easily. This work takes strong technical skills.
