How to Add Your Website to Google Search Console as a New Property

Google Search Console is a powerful tool for monitoring your website’s performance in search results. This guide will walk you through the steps to add your website as a new property in Google Search Console.



Step 1: Access Google Search Console

  1. Go to Google Search Console.
  2. Sign in with your Google account.


Step 2: Add a New Property

  1. Once logged in, click the “Add Property” button in the dropdown menu at the top left corner.
  2. A pop-up window will appear prompting you to choose a property type.


Step 3: Select the Property Type

You will see two options:

  1. Domain Property:
  • Includes all subdomains and protocols (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS).
  • Requires DNS verification.
  • Recommended for full domain management.
  1. URL Prefix Property:
  • Covers only the exact URL entered (e.g., https://www.example.com).
  • Allows multiple verification methods.
  • Suitable for more specific tracking.


Choose the one that fits your needs and click Continue.


Step 4: Verify Ownership

  1. After selecting the property type, you'll be asked to verify ownership.
  2. Choose one of the following methods:
  • HTML File: Download an HTML file and upload it to your website's root directory.
  • HTML Tag: Copy and paste a meta tag into the <head> section of your website.
  • Google Analytics: Use your existing Google Analytics account.
  • Google Tag Manager: Use your Tag Manager account for verification.
  • Domain Name Provider: Add a DNS TXT record to your domain's DNS settings.


Follow the on-screen instructions for your selected method and click Verify.


Step 5: Confirmation

Once verified, Google will confirm that the property has been added successfully. You can now access performance reports and insights for your website.


Additional Tips:

  • For comprehensive tracking, Domain Property is preferred, but it may require technical steps.
  • If you face issues during verification, check your implementation and retry.
