Google Search Console, Bing and Yandex verification

Search Console is a free Google tool that shows which searches your site appears in, how often it's clicked and any indexing problems. To add your site there, you need to verify that you own it.

Adding your site to Google Search Console

1. 1Go to search.google.com/search-console and press Add property.
2. 2Choose URL prefix and enter your site's full primary address: https://yourcompany.com.
3. 3Among the verification methods, choose HTML tag. A <meta name="google-site-verification" content="…"> tag is shown.
4. 4Copy the whole tag or just the value inside content.
5. 5In Teklif Atölyesi, paste it into the Google field under Website › SEO › Search console verification and save.
6. 6Go back to Search Console and press Verify.

If you paste the whole tag, the value is extracted automatically. If you get “Invalid code format” when saving, a quotation mark may be left at the start or end.

Submitting your sitemap

1. 1In Search Console, open Sitemaps from the left menu.
2. 2Type sitemap.xml under Add a new sitemap and press Submit.
3. 3Within a few minutes to a few days the status changes to “Success” and shows the number of pages found.

If you want your home page crawled right away, enter its address in URL inspection at the top and press Request indexing.

Bing and Yandex

• Bing Webmaster Tools: you can import the site from Search Console (the easiest way), or use the “HTML Meta Tag” method and paste the content value of the msvalidate.01 tag into the Bing field.
• Yandex Webmaster: use the “Meta tag” method and paste the content value of the yandex-verification tag into the Yandex field.

If your address changed

If you moved the site from an old domain and the old property is still in Search Console, use the Change of address tool and add redirects for the old pages.
