Google Search Console

Google Search Console

A tool for webmasters to manage and monitor their sites performance in Google’s Index. This tool allows you to set certain parameters you would normally set at the server or hosting level. When using it remember to submit both versions of your site – the www. version and without the www.  EX. https://webmarketingaz.com and http://www.webmarketingaz.com. After both versions are entered, be sure to designate within the console which version you prefer. This is strictly a preference. If you don’t choose a preferred version however you risk duplicate content issues. Though google will usually make the designation for you it’s best to be proactive when it comes to choosing the version.
