# Google Search Console

{% hint style="info" %}
To allow our website to be **ranked** in the **Google Search engine**, our website needs to be submitted to Google so that they know about the existence of our website.
{% endhint %}

There are various ways to do this, among them are:-

1. Using **HTML Tag**
2. Using **Google Tag Manager**
3. Using **Google Analytic**
4. Using **DNS**

{% hint style="success" %}
The **easiest and fastest** way is to use **HTML tags** because you only need to enter the code provided.
{% endhint %}

Make sure you log in to your Gmail account first to use Search Console. The best way is to use the Google Chrome browser as everyone is automatically signed in.

## Method 1: Use HTML tags

1. : Go to the following link : <https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome>

2. The display will come out as above.
3. If you use **your own domain enter your domain name in the Domain tab**
4. If you use **a subdomain** from **Shoppego** for example **kedaisaya.myshoppegram.com** you can enter it on the **right side of the tab** which is in the **URL prefix section.**

In this example we will use the URL prefix.

5. Make sure there is **https: //** and followed by **your domain** or **subdomain**.
