Trying Google Search Console

The Search Console is a tool from Google that help us to improve the position of our webpages in Google search results.

It offers ways to measure traffic, perfomance and fix issues¹.

I want to give a try to make my blog a little bit better and give it more presence on the web.

Currently if I check the details of the search result of one of my blog post it would look like this:

Details showing that Google seems wary about my site because it couldn’t find information about it

Today I want to check if the above tools could help me to improve those details.

Steps

1. click on Start now
2. I chose Domain* instead of *URL prefix
   1. We need to verify the domain through DNS
   2. I went to AWS, then to Route53 (I manage my domains there)
   3. We need to create a TXT record with the information provided by Google (As I already have a TXT record, I just added the new info to the previous record)
3. Click on verify and wait, it should said Ownership verified
4. Google started collecting information about your site.

After a couple of hours I still don’t see any information so I decided to split this in two posts. I will continue as soon I have something to show about my website.
