In this guide, we're going to walk you through how to verify your weebly site on Googles primary webmaster tool, Google Search Console.
We tried to make it super simple for you by giving steps one by one. You can do this in about 2 minutes.
To kick things off, visit the Google Search Console. Log in with the Google account you'd like to manage your Weebly site with. We prefer consolidating all sites under a primary email, but the choice is yours.
Head over to your Weebly site, copy the URL, and insert it into the URL prefix option pane.
Once you click 'Continue', a unique meta tag will be presented to you. This is critical - it verifies your ownership of the site when added to Weebly. Make sure you copy it!
Go to the Weebly Editor and open the SEO tab.
In the SEO tab, scroll down until the "Header Code" section becomes visible. Paste the copied meta tag there. Remember to hit both "save" and then "publish" for the changes to take effect.
Return to the Google Search Console and click "Verify". If everything has been done correctly, a success notification should greet you.
Verifying your Weebly site on the Google Search Console is a big stride towards successful SEO.
If you encountered any hiccups, double-check the steps to ensure no details were overlooked. It's also worth noting that Google might take a few minutes for the verification. Still having trouble? Don't hesitate to contact us via our Contact Form or X/Twitter. Even though this guide is entirely free, we still want to help you if we can.
Quick note on Google's indexing: every time you push out new content, Google needs to index it before it shows up in search results. This process can be really slow, but IndexGuru can speed it up significantly!
