A
propertyis Search Console's term for a discrete thing that you can examine or manage in Search Console. A
website propertyrepresents a website: that is, all pages that share the common domain or URL prefix that you specify. You can manage multiple properties, and choose which one to see or manage using the
property selectorin Search Console.
Here is how to add a website property to your Search Console account. Note that you must be able to prove that you own the site (or appropriate section of that site) in order to add it to your Search Console account. You can create a property that includes an entire domain (example.com) or a property that is limited to a single branch (example.com/clothing/).
If you are unable to prove ownership, you can ask another property owner to grant you access to the property.
You can have up to 1,000 properties in your Search Console account.
Search Console supports the following website property types:
URL-prefix property Domain property DescriptionIncludes only URLs with the specified prefix, including the protocol (http/https).
If you want your property to match any protocol or subdomain (http/https/www./m. and so on), then consider creating a Domain property instead. See more details.
A domain-level property that Includes all subdomains (m, www, and so on) and multiple protocols (http, https, ftp).
If you need to limit your data by URL path segments (example.com/es/, example.com/en/, and so on) or by protocol (http/https), then create a URL-prefix property instead. See more details.
Verification Many possible methods DNS record verification only ExamplesProperty http://example.com/
✔ http://example.com/dresses/1234
🅧 https://example.com/dresses/1234 - https does not match
🅧 http://www.example.com/dresses/1234 - www. does not match
Property example.com
✔ http://example.com/dresses/1234
✔ https://example.com/dresses/1234
✔ http://www.example.com/dresses/1234
✔ http://support.m.example.com/dresses/1234
If someone else has granted you permission to a property, just open Search Console and select the property using the property selector. Otherwise, you'll need to add a new property to your Search Console account as described next.
Adding a property does not affect your website on Google Search, it only enables you to track your site's performance on Google. If you don't get it done all in one sitting, or have setup problems, it won't hurt your website.
To add a new property:
A URL-prefix property specifies the start of a URL. Any URLs that begin with this prefix are included in that property. For example, if your URL-prefix property is https://example.com/pets/, then all the following URLs will be part of your property:
The following URLs won't match:
Tips:
If you support variations of your domain or protocol (m.example.com, http://example.com, https://example.com), consider telling Google
which URLs are canonical. This helps Google crawl your website more effectively.
Domain property (example.com)Specify a Domain property to capture data from that domain and all subdomains and protocols (http/https). See below to learn the supported syntax and to understand which URLs are included in your property. A Domain property requires you to verify ownership using DNS record verification, unless the property is on a Google product such as Blogger or Google Sites.
SyntaxA Domain property is created by specifying just the root domain of your site and any optional subdomains except for www.
Do not include the protocol (http/https) or a path (/some/path/) in your property definition. If you need to specify a protocol or path, you must create a URL-prefix property.
The following URLs are all valid Domain property definitions:
Don't include a www prefix. Domain properties automatically include both www and non-www prefixes; that is, if you specify www.example.com as your property URL, the property will be created as example.com, and include data from both www.example.com and example.com.
We don't support domain-property verification of public suffixes.
CoverageA Domain property aggregates data for all subdomains, protocols, and subpaths of the property. For example, if you define a Domain property as "example.com", the data includes example.com, any subdomains of example.com (for example, m.example.com, support.m.example.com, www.example.com, and so on), and any subpaths of any of those domains, on http, https, and ftp.
Here are some example Domain properties, and what URLs they cover:
Domain definition Included URLs example.comIf you want to separate your Domain property data by subdomain, path, or protocol, use one of the following techniques:
If you want to add a Google-hosted site, such as a Sites or Blogger site, or a Google Workspace account, you can create either a URL-prefix or Domain property, and verification will happen automatically, if you are signed in with the same account as you use to manage the Google-hosted property.
Support for non-latin characters in property URLs
Search Console supports
Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)as site URLs. Just type your domain name as usual, and it will appear correctly in Search Console. For example, if you type
http://bücher.example.com/in the
Add propertybox, it will appear correctly.
Re-add a removed propertyYou can re-add a property that you have removed without verification, as long as the property still has one verified owner.
To re-add the property, simply add the property as described above in steps 1-3, and you should automatically be re-verified.
