Setting up Google Search Console ## One of the first steps after your site has gone live is to set up a Google webmaster tools account for your new website. We highly recommend following all steps outlined in the video series for connecting Google Search Console and Google Analytics to your account here: #### Adding Your XML Sitemaps A Google Search Console will allow you to monitor your site health, as well as some other useful stats (if anything is adversely affecting your site, you'll receive an email along with a 'message' in your Google Search Console). A Google Search Console is also important in hooking up your **XML Sitemap ([More info here](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/sitemaps/build-sitemap#createsitemap)),** which is basically something that makes it much easier for Google to index all of the great content (and IDX listings) on your AgentFire website. Once you've setup a Google Search Console, make sure to check out our 'Adding your XML Sitemap to Google Search Console' tutorial! ### To set up a Google Search Console: Go to [https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome](https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome) ![Google Results](https://support.agentfire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Google%20Results.png?width=688&height=418&name=Google%20Results.png) - If you are not currently logged into your account, make sure to sign into the email you want associated with your **Google Search Console** ![Sign In](https://support.agentfire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sign%20In.png?width=688&height=418&name=Sign%20In.png) Once logged in, select Domain or URL Prefix property type, add the site URL ![Select Domain or Prefix](https://support.agentfire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Select%20Domain%20or%20Prefix.webp?width=688&height=418&name=Select%20Domain%20or%20Prefix.webp) Type in your domain name into the URL prefix.
