Configuring Google Webmaster Tools for Website Builder
When you publish your Website with Website Builder, you can select to submit your Web pages to Google® with Google Webmaster Tools account. It submits your Web pages to the Google index, which determines their relevance when people search the Internet. You can get detailed reports about the visibility of your pages on Google, Websitemap details, and statistical information about your website.
Some additional features of Google Webmaster Tools include:
- Sitemap errors analysis
- Robots.txt analysis
- Advanced indexing information about your Website
- Query statistics about your Website
- Crawl statistics about your Website
- Page analysis of your Website
- URLs from your Website that Google was unable to crawl, and why Google couldn't crawl them
Note: If you already have a Google Webmaster Tools account, or have already submitted a Websitemap, a duplicate account will not negatively affect your account. The Google Webmaster Tools feature in Website Builder will not override previous accounts or submissions.
