How to add GSC to WP Website

How To Add Google Search Console to WordPress Website Using Rank Math

Google Search Console is a must-needed tool for every site owner whether they use WordPress or not.

As I’m a WordPress fan, today I’ll show you how to add Google Search Console (GSC) to your WordPress website.

Google Search Console (GSC) gives you enormous data to analyze your Google Ranking. Not only that, you can identify and fix crawling and indexing related errors using it.

No other tool can help you to optimize your website for SEO like the GSC.

It can be added to your WordPress website in many ways. If you use any SEO plugin such as ‘Yoast SEO’ or ‘Rank Math’, the job becomes much easier.

We have used both ‘Yoast SEO’ and ‘Rank Math’. Personally, I prefer ‘Rank Math’ over ‘Yoast SEO’ for some specific reasons.

Today I’ll show you how you can add GSC using ‘Rank Math’ SEO plugin.

Install 'Rank Math' SEO Plugin
