Search Console, previously called Webmaster Tools, is a free service provided by Google to monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot your Google Search results.

For Google to verify your site, your homepage must be public, and your site cannot be private.

  1. Go to Google Search Console to register.
  2. Select the URL prefix option, enter your MindTouch site URL, and click Continue.

  5. Add the meta tag to the <head> section of your MindTouch site:
    • Navigate to Control Panel > Branding > Custom HTML.
    • Add the HTML meta tag provided by Google in Page HTML Head.
    • Click Save.
  6. Return to Google Search Console to complete verification of your site.

Breadcrumbs report

MindTouch already uses structured data for breadcrumbs as part of Technical SEO automatically handled by MindTouch. Google added a new Breadcrumbs report to Search Console in September 2019.

The new Breadcrumbs report is showing a Missing field "itemListElement" error for some MindTouch sites. This error may impact how breadcrumbs appear within Google search rich results.

MindTouch Engineering is currently investigating to resolve the issue.
