# Google Search Console

{% hint style="info" %}
To allow our website to be **ranked** in the **Google Search engine**, our website needs to be submitted to Google so that they know about the existence of our website. 
{% endhint %}

There are various ways to do this, among them are:-

1. Using **HTML Tag**
2. Using **Google Tag Manager**
3. Using **Google Analytic**
4. Using **DNS**

The **easiest and fastest** way is to use **HTML tags** because you only need to enter the code provided.

Make sure you log in to your Gmail account first to use Search Console. The best way is to use the Google Chrome browser as everyone is automatically signed in.

4. If you use **a subdomain** from **Shoppego** for example **kedaisaya.myshoppegram.com** you can enter it on the **right side of the tab** which is in the **URL prefix section.**

In this example we will use the URL prefix.
