Google Search Console, formerly known as Google Webmaster Tools, is an essential
tool for monitoring and maintaining your site’s presence in Google search results.
The SMNTCS Google Webmaster Tools plugin simplifies the process of adding the Google
Search Console verification code to your website, ensuring that you can easily verify
your site and access valuable insights about its performance.

## FAQ

### Why do I need Google Webmaster Tools in first place?

Google Webmaster Tools enables web masters to detect indexing issues, e.g. if the
Google Bot cannot access the page or if missing pages occur in the search index.

### How do I add Google Webmaster Tools to my page?

 1. Go to https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome
 2. Provide your URL in the section _URL prefix_, e.g. https://example.com, and click
    on _Continue_
 3. Now, open the section _HTML tag_ within the section _Other verification methods_
 4. Copy the meta tag, e.g. `<meta name="google-site-verification" content="BeFze6w_rrIm1NFPKJ-
    pDDbkf0oeqrtC5sjqb6WzCoE" />`
 5. Go to [Google Webmaster Tools](https://fy.wordpress.org/wp-admin/customize.php?autofocus[control]=smntcs_google_webmaster_tools_tracking_code)
    and paste your verification code

### Why am I not able to save the verification code?

This issue might be caused by a security plugin. If you use a security plugin, e.
g. Wordfence, then disable it so save your verification code and activate it once
you’re done.
