It helps webmasters identify issues that may prevent their site from being properly listed in search results. These issues can include security problems, crawling errors, unnatural backlinks, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do you need Google Search Console?<\/h2>\n<p>The tools that Google provides are free and are a guide to allowing a webmaster to find out if their website is being properly seen, but also, there are resources to help with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Finding out if your website has crawl errors.<\/li>\n<li>Optimize your website for speed.<\/li>\n<li>Informs you whether your website has malware.<\/li>\n<li>Let\u2019s you know who is linking to you.<\/li>\n<li>Informs you if Google can render your website properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a lot more features of Google Search Console, but for the beginner, the ones mentioned in this article are the most helpful.<\/p>\n<h2>How to integrate Google Search Console with your WordPress site<\/h2>\n<p>To integrate Google Search Console with your WordPress site, you will need to add your website, as well as your website\u2019s sitemap. The reason is that the sitemap, which is a generated list of all your content on your website, will allow Google to crawl and index your website far faster than just submitting your website URL alone.<\/p>\n<p>This tutorial will include both submitting your website\u2019s URL and your sitemap URL, so you get a head start on being crawled by Google. Also, you will need the plugin called <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yoast SEO<\/a>, which will help you with verifying your website and producing a valid sitemap for Google.<\/p>\n<h2>Submitting and verifying your WordPress website with Google Search Console<\/h2>\n<h4>Step 1: Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Search Console<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<p>You will need to have a Google account or sign up. The tool is free to use, and the only emails you receive will be if there are any crawl issues with your website.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 2: Submit your website.<\/h4>\n<p>Add your preferred domain \u2014 with or without the <em>www<\/em> in the URL.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GSC-add-a-property-e1475062301981.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4367 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GSC-add-a-property-e1475062301981.png\" alt=\"gsc-add-a-property\" width=\"447\" height=\"124\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GSC-add-a-property-e1475062301981.png 447w, https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/GSC-add-a-property-e1475062301981-300x83.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/add-property-url.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4368 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/add-property-url.png\" alt=\"add-property-url\" width=\"640\" height=\"209\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/add-property-url.png 640w, https:\/\/phpyouth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/add-property-url-300x98.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Step 3: Verify your website.<\/h4>\n<p>You can do this by using the HTML tag method.
