Google Search Console
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Google Search Console is a free web service provided by Google that allows website owners to
|
|
monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot their site's presence in Google Search results. It offers
|
|
valuable insights into how Google views and interacts with your site, helping you optimize its
|
|
performance.
|
|
|
|
To enable Google Search Console for your website, go to `Google Search Console
|
|
<https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome>`_. Then, select the property type
|
|
:ref:`GSC-Domain` or :ref:`GSC-URL prefix`.

|
|
|
|
.. _GSC-Domain:
|
|
|
|
Domain property
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A domain property in Search Console tracks all versions of your website, including subdomains and
|
|
protocols (http/https). This comprehensive view allows you to analyze your overall website's search
|
|
performance and make informed decisions to optimize its visibility. Enter the domain, e.g.,
|
|
`example.com` and click :guilabel:`Continue`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
- The domain property type can only be verified via
|
|
`DNS record <https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en#domain_name_verification&zippy=%2Chtml-tag>`_.
|
|
- Google suggests creating at least one domain property to represent your site, as it is the most
|
|
complete view of your website information.
|
|
|
|
.. _GSC-URL prefix:
|
|
|
|
URL prefix property
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This type of verification is usually simpler as you have multiple verification methods, such as
|
|
using your existing Google Analytics or Tag Manager account. It also makes sense to view a section
|
|
of your website separately. For example, if you work with a consultant on a specific part of your
|
|
website, you might want to verify this part separately to limit access to your data. Enter the URL,
|
|
e.g., `https://www.example.odoo.com` and click :guilabel:`Continue`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Site ownership verification
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Before using Google Search Console for your website, you must verify your site ownership. This
|
|
verification process is a security measure that protects both you and Google. It ensures that only
|
|
authorized users have access to sensitive data and that you have control over how your website is
|
|
treated in Google Search.
|
|
|
|
Five methods are available to do this:
|
|
|
|
.. _website/google-search-console:
|
|
|
|
#. :ref:`GSC-HTML-file-upload`
|
|
#. `DNS record <https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en#domain_name_verification&zippy=%2Chtml-tag>`_
|
|
#. `HTML tag <https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en#meta_tag_verification&zippy=%2Chtml-tag>`_
|
|
#. `Google Analytics tracking code <https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en#google_analytics_verification>`_
|
|
#. `Google Tag Manager container snippet <https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en#google_tag_manager_verification>`_
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The best method for you depends on your comfort level and technical expertise. For beginners,
|
|
using a file upload or HTML tag might be easiest. Those options are convenient if you already use
|
|
Google Analytics or Tag Manager. You need to access your domain registrar's settings for domain
|
|
verification.
|
|
|
|
.. _GSC-HTML-file-upload:
|
|
|
|
HTML file upload
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This method involves uploading an HTML file provided by Google containing the verification code you
|
|
have to put in your Odoo's Website Settings. Google verifies ownership by checking for this code.
|
|
|
|
#. Once you added your website URL under the URL prefix option and clicked :guilabel:`continue`,
|
|
expand the HTML file section where you find a download :icon:`fa-download` button.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#. Download your HTML verification file and copy the verification code (e.g., `google123abc.html`).

|
|
|
|
#. In your Odoo database, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings`,
|
|
and enable :guilabel:`Google Search Console` in the :guilabel:`SEO` section. Paste the
|
|
verification code (e.g., `google123abc.html`) in the dedicated field.

|
|
|
|
#. In Google Search Console, click :guilabel:`Verify`. If you perform the steps above correctly,
|
|
verification should be done immediately.
