Hi, I have been trying to connect my google serach console to RankMath but it can not find my account or property. So I checked the URL on my google search account and it has added a / at the end of my URL-adress. I don’t know if this is the reason that it does not work with RankMath. But I have also tried to change the URL to the correct one but it does not work. Do you know what I might be doing wrong and how I can finish connecting everything with RankMath?

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing while trying to connect your Google Search Console to Rank Math. It sounds like there might be a couple of factors at play here.
-
URL Format: Ensure that the URL you are using in Google Search Console matches exactly with the one in Rank Math. If your URL in Google Search Console has a trailing slash (e.g., `https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Save-Changes.jpg), make sure that you are using the same format in Rank Math. Sometimes, discrepancies in URL formats can lead to connection issues.
-
Connecting to Search Console: To connect Rank Math to your Google Search Console, follow these steps:
- Go to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Analytics.
- If you haven’t already created and verified your website property in Google Search Console, Rank Math should do this automatically for you.
- Select the correct site from the Site drop-down list and ensure you choose the corresponding URL property.
- Click on the Save Changes button once you have made the changes.
-
Sitemap Submission: After connecting, ensure that your sitemap is correctly submitted in Google Search Console. You can do this by navigating to Indexing → Sitemaps in the Search Console and pasting your sitemap URL there.
If you continue to experience issues, it may be beneficial to check if your Google account is properly connected and if you are using a URL-prefix property instead of a domain property, as Rank Math works best with URL-prefix properties.

Please verify using the URL prefix and ensure that you have verified the correct version of your website on the Google Search Console (HTTP or HTTPS, www or non-www).
You can follow our guide here to create the URL Prefix property:

In addition, the domain property won’t work correctly on some sections of the Analytics module such as the IndexStatus.
Looking forward to helping you.
