Setup involves “verifying” your domain. There’s nothing you need to do in your Pakk account, but domain verification requires you to be able to setup a TXT record with your domain provider, which can be a little tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing. Once you’ve verified your domain you get access to a whole load of information related to how the Google “searchbot” sees your site. On the surface this may seem very similar to what Analytics provides, and if you don’t fully understand the difference, don’t worry about it too much, just think of it as another source of analytics data about your site. The data in Seach Console is more like a content and performance breakdown of your site in the eyes of Google. After verification, you should submit a sitemap. This is a link to simple file, which Pakk generates for you, which lists all the pages on your site. Basically, you’re making life easier for the Google crawler by telling it exactly what’s on your site. Pakk sitemaps are at `https://{your domain}/sitemap.txt`. You only need to set that up once and it updates automatically every day. Once you’ve set up Search Console, keep an eye on it to spot any problems or issues with your site and try to fix them quickly. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.pakk.io/websites/google-services/search-console-and-sitemap.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
