Google Search Console is a powerful tool that gives site owners access to data about their rankings on Google. Google will provide an abundance of information that can be gleaned from the Search Console such as search terms your site can be found for using a Google Search, how it ranks for those terms compared to your competitors and how many users are clicking on your site's listing. 


1. To get started with creating an account, please visit https://search.google.com/search-console/about then click on Start Now. You will then be prompted to log in with a Google account.


2. Once logged in, you can either use your Domain or a URL Prefix. We recommend the Domain route over URL Prefix


3. Once you've entered your domain, you will need to add a TXT Record within your DNS settings to verify ownership. Please note that your DNS settings are accessed through your domain provider



4. Once your domain has been verified, you will be able to access all the tools of Google Search Console. To learn more about Google Search Console's tools, please visit https://support.google.com/webmasters/
