Verifying your website proves to Google and Bing that it’s yours. Then you can see how people find you and ask Google to read your pages. The **Search engines** panel in your admin has the same steps with your own web address filled in.

## Steps

1. **Add a property in Google Search Console.** Open [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console), click **Add property**, choose **URL prefix** and enter your website address exactly as shown in your admin.

2. **Copy the HTML tag.** Choose **HTML tag** and copy the whole tag.
3. **Paste it in your admin.** Go to **Website** → **SEO**, paste it into **Google verification code** and click **Save code**. Only the code is saved and added to your home page.
4. **Verify in Google.** Back in Search Console, click **Verify**.
5. **Submit your sitemap.** In Search Console open **Sitemaps**, paste the sitemap address from your admin (use the **Copy** button) and click **Submit**. Then tick **I did this** next to **Sitemap submitted to Google** in your SEO checklist.
6. **Bing (optional).** In [Bing Webmaster Tools](https://www.bing.com/webmasters) import your site from Google Search Console, or choose **HTML meta tag**, paste it into **Bing verification code** and click **Save code**.

## Questions

### Do I need to do this again after connecting my own domain?

Yes. Search Console works per web address, so add a property for your new domain and submit its sitemap.
