Set up Google Search Console in 10 minutes

Search Console is free, and it is the only place Google tells you which of your pages it has listed and why others are missing.

Google Search Console shows the searches that bring people to your site, where you appear, and which pages Google has not listed.

Add your website

Sign in with a Google account, add your website, and choose the domain option so every version of your address is covered.

Prove you own it

Google gives you a short line of text to add to your domain settings, where you bought your web address. It can take a few minutes to be accepted.

Send your sitemap

Add the address of your sitemap, often yoursite.com/sitemap.xml, so Google finds every page you want listed.
