Founder & Director, On The Ground

Updated 6 June 2026

Overview

Search Console is free, official, and tells you what Google sees on your site. For solo founders, the 15-minute setup is non-negotiable.

Verify your domain

Add a Domain property (not URL prefix). Verify via DNS TXT record at Vercel (since Vercel hosts your DNS).

Submit your sitemap

Sitemaps → enter sitemap.xml → Submit. Google crawls within 24 hours.

Set alerts

Settings → Email preferences → enable indexing and coverage alerts. You'll get an email the moment something breaks.
