Very welcome Katrina
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such an easy to follow manner. Do you have any videos demonstrating how to fix errors flagged by Google which read
‘Errors can prevent your page or feature from appearing in Search results. The following errors were found on your site:
Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’ ‘
Look forward in hearing from you soon
Hey mate,
Thanks for commenting! Sorry not at the moment. If you have issues, please get in touch with your webmaster.
Steward, could you or do you have a video to set up Bing. SHOULD I share allow or trust to sync Google with bing??
Hey mate,
Yes you can verify with Bing too. I will look at creating a tutorial for this.
You are selfless in all your tutorials may God bless you with too much abundance
You’re welcome 🤗 thanks for your kind words!
Hi Stewart, i love the content, and the text box on this video. May I ask how I can get that text box?
Thank you
Hey!
Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean?
Thanks for the great content and clear instructions! Quick question, is there anything special I need to do if I am setting up a new domain in GSC that is going to be redirected to a different URL? Thanks!
I would just connect the primary domain that you are using. If you want to connect the re-direct domain, then it's just the same process.
@@StewartGauld Excellent, I did that, was just wondering if there were any additional steps. Thanks for your help and continued blessings for your online success.
Hii just saw your console setup video do you agree first and second method is better than the 3rd one because for the 3rd one we have to download an additional plugin that might have some effect on website speed.
I am in SEO so I knew that some plugins have effect on the website speed What's your view on this
You are 100% correct about that. I would only use the plugin method for those that cannot do the first two.
@@StewartGauld thanks for replying buddy 😊
Great video Stewart. Vey informative and well explained. Does the email you use to set up google search console on need to be a gmail one, or can you use any email to sign up for console?
Hey mate,
Yes you need a Google account.
@@StewartGauld Ok thanks mate
My brother 🤝
Welcome!
Please is there any alternative plugins I can use because I can't find the "insert headers and footers" by beginners
These are two goodies: Header Footer Script Loader Plugin and My Header Footer
Are the website visits of a website owner included in the data? If so, is there a way to distinguish between his/her visits and visits from ordinary web traffic?
A website may have 200 visits a month but 50 of those visits may come from the website owner.
There is a way you can filter out visits from IP addresses, either in GA or most likely Search Console aswell...
Question about option 2 : I have multiple websites in the public html of cPanel. Where should I upload the file in this case? Should I go to folder of individual website of public html and upload there? Or just upload in the public html? I would appreciate your help.
Hey!
I will look into this.
@@StewartGauld I will be thankful if you reply me as soon as possible.
HI STEWARD,
I Finished setting up google analytics using your video.now i have a question.is anyone method enough in the above three methods to set up google searh console for my website
Hi Saranya,
Yes, you can use any one of these methods. Let me know how you go.
@@StewartGauld thank you stewart.i am done with analytics method.so i dint try the other two methods.
Hi I have 2 shops. Should I create separate Google Search Console accounts for each shop?
Yes correct.
Do you need to have admin access on Google analytics to verify your website via GA?
Im not 100% sure. I will have to look into that. What permission level do you have?
amazing! can you explain the same by Domain method? thankyou
Welcome 🤗
@@StewartGauld domain one?
Nice video, i have done this process for almost three weeks but my website is yet to be index by google, any help?
Thanks Stephen,
Check to see if you have any issues present. Can you located your website online?
Is it important to verify by all methods or just 1 method is enough?
One is enough. Cheers!
I typed my website address in the URL prefix area, just like you said, but the continue button was not getting hightlighted. But when I put my website address into the domain area, it got highlighted.
I will look into this.
@@StewartGauld Thank you 🙏🏽
After moving over to https, do I need to remove the http property from Google Search Console?
It should automatically redirect.
Thanks Stewart, my website host was going to charge me to do this. Easy and well explained.
Really! How bad. I'm glad this helped you.
How or where do I find my HTML code in the console? I am already verified since 2018 and switched over to Rank Math but can't seem to figure out how to get or where to find my existing code. Please and thank you. :)
Hey mate,
I'll have to get back to you with the exact process on this. There are a few guide on Google that can help out in the meantime.
Thanks. Seems like everyone shows the guide and process if you are not already verified but I cannot locate anything to show me where to recover the existing code. Guess I am going to have too hire someone. @@StewartGauld
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome!
Okay so I have Google analytics and I'm trying to connect it and use Google console and it's not working it will not verify. I'm trying to get a landing page verified and I don't know what I'm doing wrong I'm following the instructions and using both of the website addresses or the landing page address I guess that's connected to me but it's still not working.
Hey Tia,
Have you tried multiple methods? Give it at least 48 hours before you start seeing data.
@@StewartGauld well the only thing I have is Google analytics. What other ways can I try it's for my landing page I don't have a website?
The first method would not work as it gave me an error. The second method DID work. and the third method does not apply as it's for WOrd Press and my site is html. Question: Because the second method worked - does that mean I'm good to go? Google can see my page?
Hey!
Yes you are good to go. You only need one method to work.
Thank you so much for this video! I tried so many times and thanks to you I was able to do it🙏🏻☺
You're welcome!
Do you have an ecommerce store?
Hey James! No we don't have our own. Why?
Hello,what is the Cpanel?
If you are using WordPress, most likely you have a Cpanel. Ask your hosting about this.
How do I locate the tag?
Depending on what method you can find it in your GSC settings.
Hello,
I decided to move my website from wordpress to HTML 5 , however im stuck when it comes to search console . I tried to remove the property so as to resubmit it afresh but this doesnt work. i removed the console tracking code from the domain but when i try to add property afresh it auto-verifies the domain and brings back the old data, the old indexed pages etc. ive actualy removed the tracking code but i keep being verified as the owner of the website so i cant start afresh. I want to start over because the initial naming of the pages on wordpress doesnt march with the new html site. Also im more profecient with HTML rather than wordpress.
So to start on a clean slate and submit the new website afresh entirely, start from zero , kindly what do i have to do ?
Hey,
You will just need to navigate through this process again. Remove all previous tags you have on your domain.
@@StewartGauld thank you for the quick responce , but i removed the tracking code in my domain name and it still doesnt work. i want to start afresh , but i cant coz when i delete the property from search console when i try to resubmit it , it auto verifies my ownership of the domain despite the fact that i deleted the tag from the domain name
Boss please help me with this issue below.
Am targeting uk citizens with my web design service.
But I found out that my page keep appearing and disappearing in different countries like yesterday I was on third page of Google with my region set to UK and my location Anambra Nigeria.
Then this morning I didn't see my page again in the third page of Google.
Then when I set my region to UK and location to France I started seeing my page on first page of Google
And the worst of all my page keep appearing and disappearing in Google organic search engine and it is about a month website
I will have to look into this.
I can't see how to get to the search console in the first place. At 02:03 the screen changes to show a welcome screen to the console without explaining how to get there.
Head over to search.google.com. I hope that helps!
I moved my domain from Wordpress to Shopify. How do I update Google search console? I only move the domain name over. Do I just submit a new sitemap? When I click on my domain name it’s still showing the Wordpress logo next to it. And I’m with Shopify now. Please help me someone I don’t know what to do
Hey Dustin,
You will have to re-submit verification.
Ok Google Console is verified and Google Analytics. How to connect the two? Like what's next?
You do not need to do anything with the two. You can now watch our 'how to use' videos to get the most out of both platforms.
I really hope this account is still up and get a response
Sure is!
so what is channel and how do I get it? is it a app, website, go daddy?
Hey mate!
What do you mean?
