Setting Up Your Google Search Console Account
Before we plunge into adding your Google Verification ID to Webflow, let’s set up your Google Search Console account.
First, head over to the Google Search Console website and sign in with your Google account. If you don’t have one, creating an account is quick and straightforward.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll see an option to add a property. Click on that and enter your website URL. Make sure to choose the correct protocol—either HTTP or HTTPS—based on your site’s settings.
After you’ve added your site, Google will prompt you to verify ownership. This is an essential step, as it gives you access to valuable insights about your site’s performance.
You’ll find various verification methods available; I recommend using the HTML tag option for ease.
Once you’ve followed the steps, you’ll be ready to grab your Google Verification ID when we get to that section.
Locating Your Google Verification ID
Once you’ve set up your Google Search Console account, it’s time to locate your Google Verification ID. This unique identifier is vital for verifying your website ownership.
To find it, log into your Google Search Console dashboard. Once you’re there, select the property you want to verify. On the left-hand menu, click on “Settings.” Under the “Property Settings” section, you’ll see your Verification ID displayed. It typically starts with “google-site-verification=” followed by a string of characters.
If you’re having trouble locating it, you can also check the verification methods listed. Sometimes, you might find it under the “HTML tag” option. Just copy that entire string, as you’ll need it later for verification.
