Google search console integration

At a glance

The community members discuss how to connect Google Search Console to index a website. The main points are:

- Adding the domain as a property in Search Console is sufficient, without needing to do anything in Webstudio. The pages will get indexed if the indexing setting is set to true.

- To verify the site, the name (google site verification) goes into the property field and the content goes into the content field.

- Placing the Google-provided <meta /> tag in custom code on Netlify worked, but not on Cloudflare. This may be due to Cloudflare considering it as a bot.

- Putting the content attribute value into the Content field and the name value into the Property field did not work, but placing it in custom code did.

- The community members suggest this is because the verification expects the name attribute, not the property attribute.

I want to connect Google Search Console so that it indexes my site. Is this how it should be set up?

No need to do anything in Webstudio. You add your domain as a property right in Search Console.

To have your pages indexed you should check page settings. If indexing is set to true, your pages will get indexed (with or without Search Console property being configured).
What Holger said but if you are trying to verify your site the name aka google site verification goes into the property field and the content goes into the content field
At first the <meta tag provided by google search console I put it in custom code I deployed on cloudflare it didn't work but on netlify it worked. Could the problem come from cloudflare or not?
Possibly Cloudflare could have thought it was a bot. I've only verified using DNS though so I can't say forsure
try putting your content attribute value into Content field and name value into property value
Property: google-site-verification
Contet : whateverthathashis
It didn't work to put in property and content but when I placed it in custom code it worked thank you.
probably because it expects name attribute and not property attribute
When I created in custom code and deployed it to Netlify it worked but for Cloudflare it didn't and I want to deploy it to Cloudflare. Is there a place in Cloudflare to see the restrictions?
doesn't sound like a restriction cloudflare would do, I bet on some user error (read something wrong with what you do)
in property I put: google-site-verification
and content: m0X***EwE
