in today's video i'm going to show you how to verify your website using google search
console and in next week's video i'm going to show you how to actually submit your articles
to get them indexed faster on google and a very cool hack that you may have never even realized
that you can do using google search console where you can find out what keywords people are using
to get to your article so make sure you guys are subscribed and hit that bell for notifications
so you don't miss out on that video and if you're watching this like three weeks from now i'm gonna
post that video in the description below just so you can easily access it and check it out okay
now before we dig deep in this i want to make sure that you guys are aware that google search console
is not the same thing as google analytics now google analytics will tell you how much traffic
you're getting to your website but they won't tell you what keywords people are using to get
to your articles that's where google search console comes in now they won't tell you all
the keywords that people are using to get to your articles but they will give you enough information
that will be very critical to just improving your articles and just understanding what words people
are using when they're getting to your article so that is why it is so important to have this tool
and just understanding how it all works so let's go ahead and get started on the computer i'm going
to show you how to verify your domain so you can go ahead and get started let's go okay so this is
my google search console right here for my current website trident mom jobs and i'm going to show you
how to set it up for a brand new website now i did a video not too long ago of how i actually
set up a brand new website just to show you how to actually create a brand new website and i'm
going to show you in this video how i'm going to actually verify that domain name now you see here
if i click right here i have different variations of my domain name which is http which is picking
up different information from the one that i currently use which is https so what i'm going
to do is show you how to eliminate having these different variations of your domain name and just
have one domain name that is going to pick up all the traffic that is coming to your website so this
is going to be very valuable to you guys i'm going to go down right here to add property and this is
what you're going to do when you're getting set up so go to add property and then i'm going to
put the new website i created called the starter site prom to verify it i'm gonna go to continue
now it's gonna say to sign in to your domain name provider for example godaddy.com or namecheap.com
and just so you guys know i bought my domain name from namecheap but i also directed the
name server to my host which is siteground so i'm going to show you how to actually do
this using siteground and i will put in the description below an article that shows you
whatever hosting provider you have will give you complete instructions on how to do this
now the way i'm going to show you in this video is going to be very similar to whatever
hosting provider you probably have so i think this will be helpful for everyone
so it says to copy the text record below into the dns configuration for the startersite.com so i'm
going to do this to verify my domain name so i'm going to go ahead and copy this and then i'm going
to head over to siteground and show you guys how i'm going to verify my domain name so i'm going to
go to login alright so once you're signed in you want to go to websites and then you can go to site
tools and then you want to go over down to domain and under that you'll find it says dns zone editor
and then right here if you just scroll down a little bit you will see where it says create
new record you're going to go down right here to text and then you're going to leave this empty
right here you're going to leave this the same right here this ttl and then you want to just go
ahead and paste the verification code that google search console gave you and then you go to create
and then it says the text record is created now i'm going to go
back to google search console and we're going to say verify
just uncheck that and ownership is verified so this is how you can simply verify your website
with google search console and now you can go ahead and start monitoring your organic traffic
now if you have a brand new website remember that it's going to take a while before you start seeing
some traction with google but this is definitely something that you want to monitor and i'm going
to show you next week on how to actually submit your articles so you can get them indexed a lot
faster by google so make sure you guys subscribe and hit that bell for notifications so you don't
miss out on that video and a very cool hat that you guys would definitely want to know that will
be very helpful down the line all right thank you guys for watching i hope this was helpful
to you and let me know in the comments section if this worked for you alright see you guys next week
