And then as long as you're logged into The Google account you want it's Connected to your WordPress site then You should see the screen otherwise It'll ask you to log in to your Google Account then once you see this screen You've got two options the option that We're going to use is the URL prefix Option right here so all you need to do Is paste in your domain URL right there Then once you've pasted that in Just Click the continue button right there That's going to say it's verifying the Property and now when you see this Screen what we have to do is we have to Verify the ownership of this property And there's a really easy way we can do That by using all-in-one SEO as well all You need to do is you choose the HTML Tag option right here and then just copy This tag by clicking this copy button And then head back to your WordPress Dashboard and now we're back in the WordPress dashboard we'll just head to The general settings underneath All-in-one SEO right here then we're Under the general settings you'll see There's a tab for webmaster tools right Here just click on that and the Webmaster tools verification method We're going to use is the Google search Console Soul method so just click on That Then all we need to do is just paste in
The code that we just copied right here Don't forget to click save changes to Save those and then head back to Google Search console and then once you're back In Google search console all you need to Do Under the HTML tag section is just Click verify and now you can see we get A ownership verified message right here And we can now see that we have our site Connected to Google search console let's Talk about XML sitemaps they may sound Complex but they are simply just a way For search engines like Google to Discover all the content you have on Your website quickly and easily it tells Google what content you want it to look At so to add sitemap to Google search Console it couldn't be easier especially With all-in-one SEO so all we need to do Is just head over to sitemaps under All-in-one SEO over here on the left Hand side click on that so now we're Under site maps and we're under the General sitemap tab right here and we Can see our general site map is enabled By default through all-in-one SEO and Now all we need to do is open the Sitemap in a new tab and then copy the End of the URL to using Google's search Console you'll see what that looks like In Google search console but I'll also Give you an indication on the screen as Well that we're going to open it in a New tab and I'm going to copy the
Sitemap XML which is at the end of my URL and then I'm going to head to Google Search console and now we're under Google search console for that website You can see on the left hand side here Under indexing there is a sitemaps Option just click on that and now it's Asking us to add a new sitemap so you Can see that we have a website domain Right there and then at the end of this Is the part that we've just copied from The URL when we opened the sitemap in a New tab I'm just going to paste that in Here and then all you need to do once You've pasted that there is click on the Blue submit button so now we've get a Message to let us know that that sitemap Has been submitted successfully And there is another type of sitemap That search engines recommend you submit In your search console and that is the RSS sitemap so we're going to head back To our WordPress dashboard and take a Look at that so now we're back in our WordPress dashboard and next to the General sitemap tab there are other tabs As well and the RSS sitemap tab is right Here click on that and see that this is Enabled as well by default through All-in-one SEO we're just going to go Through the exact same process and we're Just going to open the sitemap up in a New tab and the reason that this sitemap Is really important to search engines is
Because it contains all the details for Your blog posts products Etc so once you Update to post or you post a new post Then the search engine will be able to Check your RSS sitemap and find that Content much more quickly than just Going through your general site map so It's a great way of getting those faster Ranking results I'm just going to copy The end of the URL right here and then Head back to Google Google search Console and now back on Google search Console underneath the sitemap section Right here we'll just paste in the RSS Sitemap I'm going to submit that And we can see that that was submitted Successfully as you can see it might Take a while for Google to update the Status of the site map but it should Update within a couple of minutes and Once that's updated Google will now use Your sitemaps to find newer content Quicker we have now taken the steps Needed for a search engine to be able to Discover our content but there is some Work to do on the actual content to help It rank faster in higher positions the Main three areas we're going to look at Here are the meta title The Met Description and keywords for your Content So to optimize our content like I said There are a couple of things that we can Do with the meta title and description
Of pages and posts to show you what I Mean I'm going to go to a post right now So I'm going to head over to post here On the left hand side and just click on That then I'm going to choose the top Post here that I have I'm just going to Click on that and what this page is is Blog post that been written for the site And it's to cover the top seven desktop Speakers for video so we've created a Little bit of content here because we Believe there's some interest from People that will be using our site so to Optimize this content what we need to do Is we need to think about the keyword or Key phrase that we want to rank for and What essentially that means is the word Or phrase that someone will search on Google to find this content now usually This is done before you write a blog Post so you'll have an idea of keywords That you want to rank for and then Create the content around that so what We've done is we've decided that our key Phrase is top 7 desktop speakers So now we have our key phrase We Now can Take a look at our meta title and Description to make sure that that key Phrase appears in them to help this Content rank higher and faster so to do That we're going to use all in one SEO So we're going to come past lock editor Right here I'm going to scroll down into the
All-in-one SEO settings and underneath The general tab you can see right here It says snippet preview and this is a Preview of what the meta title and Description will look like in the search Results below that we can see that There's the post title right here and at The moment the default is it's pulling The title of the blog post and then the Site title which you can see just here And then below that is the meta Description and at the moment it's just Pulling the post excerpt so it's pulling All the text content below the heading Into the meta description right here and As you can see on both of these they Have a maximum recommended characters So Currently the title is completely fine It's within the maximum recommended Characters but the post expert is way Above the recommended characters so in The search engine someone might want to Read that to kind of find out a little Bit more what the page is about but they Can't because it's not constructed in a Way in which they can see all the Information So as I said our key phrase is top seven Desktop speakers and currently we can See all in one SEO is indicating a 77 Out of 100 score for this blog post at The moment let's see if we can improve That so I'm going to leave the post Title as it is because it's got the key
Phrase in it and then I'm going to come Down to the post excer I'm going to Remove that from The Meta description And then I'm just going to paste in some Content that I've written for this Description I've added that in there and Then you can see underneath in the Snippet preview it now fits and people Can read and make a decision on whether They want to view this content there is Another really cool feature right here As well with all in one SEO you can add Your Focus key phrase to this box right Here and then it will give you some Recommendations and information about This blog post so I'm just going to copy The key phrase I'm gonna add it to the box and then I'm Going to just click add focus keyphrase And there you can see it's given me a 100 out of 100 for the Focus key phrase We've also got an 85 out of 100 now We're in the green in this section Next up we're going to add some internal Links to our content this is a really Important part to help search engines Discover new content faster so let's do That so we're back on WordPress site and We're back with the blog post that we've Just been working on for the meta title And description so we know what our Keywords are for this and we can see in All in one SEO at the bottom that it had A recommendation in the page analysis to
Add internal links and some external Links as well so there isn't any Currently on the page we're going to Change that right now so we're going to Scroll back up to the content And on this page I can see that we Recommend the top seven desktop speakers For videos and we give a list of Individual products that people might Want to check out now when you're Building your blog post up and things Like that you might be thinking of other Parts of the website that you can Incorporate into the blog post so you Can link to and what that will do is Create an amazing network of links on Your website for people to follow but Also the search engine to follow to Figure out exactly what your site's About and the kind of content on it so What we're going to do here we're going To add a link to this product here so We've got this product on the site in The online store so I'm just going to Highlight the text and then click the Link button right here and then all we Need to do is search for the page that We're looking for That's come up with our product right Here I'm just going to click on that and Now that is linking to the product on The site so if you click update to save Those changes then if we scroll down We'll now see in the page analysis we
