Google Search Console Setup

Google Search Console configured so it actually tells you what's happening with your site in search: I verify domain ownership, submit and monitor the sitemap, track indexing and coverage errors, and read performance reports in a way that leads to specific actions, not just a number on a screen - the same workflow that keeps a site visible through any URL structure change.

offered domain ownership-verification methods

Verification As An Offered Service, Not A Tag Already On This Site

This site doesn't yet have a Search Console verification meta tag deployed - I treat ownership-verification setup as the client's first service step, choosing the method (DNS, HTML file, or meta tag) to fit their infrastructure, instead of copying one solution everywhere.

source files kept in sync: robots.ts and sitemap.ts

Crawl-Directive Catalog Kept In Sync With The Code

This site's robots.ts generates a disallow rule that matches exactly what sitemap.ts excludes from its URL list at the same time - no page is blocked in one file and submitted in the other. I apply the same synchronization discipline to Search Console setup for clients.

What Search Console Setup Covers

Site Ownership Verification

I configure ownership verification in Search Console using one of the offered methods - a DNS TXT record, an uploaded HTML file, or a meta tag in the site's code - depending on who administers the domain and hosting, without leaving unnecessary access behind once setup is done.

Sitemap Submission And Monitoring

I submit the sitemap.xml file to Search Console and regularly check its processing status - how many submitted, indexed, and excluded URLs it reports - to catch any drift between what the code generates and what actually reaches the index.

Index-Coverage Error Monitoring

I track the index-coverage report and crawl errors - 404s, redirect loops, server errors - watching especially closely in the window right after any URL structure change, when the risk of new errors is highest.

Performance-Report Interpretation

I read the performance report (clicks, impressions, CTR, average position) broken down by query and page, to point at which specific URLs are losing visibility after a change, not just report a general trend.

Robots And Sitemap Consistency Audit

I check that robots.txt and sitemap.xml agree with each other - so no page excluded from indexing is simultaneously submitted in the sitemap as an indexing candidate.

Post-Migration URL Monitoring

After any URL structure change I monitor Search Console for new 404 errors, the pace of re-indexing for the new URLs, and any loss of search visibility - catching a visibility drop in its first days is what keeps it from becoming a ranking loss.

Grounded In This Site's Own Setup

These mechanics come from this site's own routing table, robots.txt, and sitemap - checkable code that runs in production here, not a slide-deck promise.

Robots And Sitemap Alignment

src/app/robots.ts excludes exactly two paths - /marka and /en/brand - and sitemap.ts deliberately omits the same page from its submitted URL list, so Search Console never sees a contradictory signal about one page.

Redirects Computed From The Routing Table

Wherever a route's Polish path differs from its canonical key, the old URL gets a permanent 301 redirect computed at server startup directly from next-intl's routing table - not typed in one by one in code, where a single typo silently breaks one redirect.

Canonical And Hreflang Alternates

Canonical and hreflang alternates are generated for every PL/EN URL pair, so Google always knows which language version is the correct indexing target and never has to guess between near-identical URLs - especially important during a structure change.

How We Work

Transparent Process

No black boxes. You know exactly what is happening at every stage.

Step 01

Ownership Verification And Initial Setup

1-2 days

I verify domain ownership using the chosen method, configure email alerts, and confirm Search Console sees the same version of the site (protocol, subdomain, trailing slash) that visitors actually reach.

Step 02

Sitemap Submission And Robots.txt Audit

2-3 days

I submit the sitemap, check its processing status, and audit robots.txt for consistency with the sitemap - no page excluded from indexing should also appear in the submitted sitemap.

Step 03

Post-Migration URL Structure Monitoring

2-4 weeks (depending on migration scale)

If the setup includes a URL structure change, I monitor Search Console daily for the first few weeks after migration, to catch new 404 errors and gauge the pace of re-indexing before they become ranking problems.

Step 04

Performance-Report Analysis And Recommendations

3-5 days

I analyze the performance report broken down by query and page, identify URLs losing visibility, and hand over specific recommendations - not a general trend, but a list of pages that need attention.
