Conceting search console

    Hello Rank Math
    I have watched your video for connecting the Google Serch Console with your plugin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49gYr5tUy0I&t=122s&ab_channel=RankMathSEO).

    So I have connected Rank Math with a google account witch I also have used for creating a search console.

    All good here…
    But how can I know if the connection between Rank Math and Serch Console was been successful?
    If I go in WP under your plugin/general settings/analytic I see that under the option search console there is my domain…
    but if I go under general settings/webmaster tools under option Google Serch Console (where you need to verification HTML code) box is empty…

    Is everything OK or do I need to do something extra?

    Sorry if this is a beginner question but I’m new to your plugin ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hope to get your answer.
    Wish you an amazing day

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math.

    You should see a green indicator in the Search Console if it is correctly connected:
    green

    If it is connected and you have granted all the permissions, Rank Math will automatically verify the property as a URL prefix property, so you do not have to manually verify the property by adding the HTML tag.

    I hope this helps.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Ok, great I have this green indicator.
    I have given all permissions when connecting Rank Math with Google account…so will Rank Math automatically leave verification HTML code empty in the Webmaster tool section?

    And just one last question…under General settings/Analytics I can install Google analytic code…
    Analytic code needs to follow GDPR rules and I don’t have your PRO version…
    So it’s better to leave this option disabled and rather use a plugin like GDPR Cookie Consent right?

    o I forget one more thing… do I need to update the sitemap manually every time there is new content on my site, or does your plugin do this automatically?

    Hello,

    Yes, the HTML verification code option will be empty as the website is automatically verified.

    Yes, you should use keep the Install Analytics Code option disabled if you are using some other plugin to add the tracking code.

    The sitemap is updated automatically.

    Make sure that the sitemap is excluded from caching:

    Whenever you update/publish a post, the sitemap is updated and Rank Math can notify search engines that your sitemap has been updated.

    Please make sure that the Ping Search Engines option is enabled at Rank Math > Sitemap settings > General
    ping

    I hope this helps.

    Donโ€™t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Thanks so much for such a quick response and great answers!
    You guys are amazing.

    Wish you all the best Anas ๐Ÿ™‚
