How do I access the Google Webmaster Console login?

To access the Google Webmaster Console login, open Google Search Console and sign in with the Google account that has permission to manage your website property. After signing in, select the relevant property to view search performance data, indexing information and website settings.

To access the Google Webmaster Console login, open Google Search Console and sign in with the Google account that has permission to access your website property. Once signed in, choose the relevant property to view search performance, indexing information, security issues and website settings.

Google Webmaster Console is now generally referred to as Google Search Console. Your login details are the same as those for your Google account; there is no separate Webmaster Console username or password. If you manage more than one website, use the property selector after signing in to switch between them.

How to sign in

  1. Open Google Search Console in your browser.
  2. Select Sign in.
  3. Enter the email address associated with your Google account, followed by your password.
  4. Complete any requested security verification.
  5. Choose the website property you want to manage from the property selector.

If the website is not shown, the Google account you used may not have been added as a user. A verified owner can grant access through Settings and Users and permissions. The level of access may be restricted: a full user can usually inspect data and make operational changes, while an owner has control over user access and verification settings.

Make sure you select the correct property type. A domain property covers variations such as different protocols and subdomains, while a URL-prefix property covers only the specified address and its eligible variations. Selecting the wrong property can make it appear that data or settings are missing.

If you cannot sign in, check that you are using the correct Google account and that your browser has not automatically selected a different account. Sign out of other accounts, use a private browsing window, or try another supported browser. If you have forgotten your password, use the standard Google account recovery process. If you can sign in but cannot open the website property, ask an existing owner to confirm your permissions and the exact property address.

After logging in, review the Overview report for a summary of the property. Use Performance to assess search queries, pages and search visibility, and Indexing reports to investigate whether important pages have been crawled and indexed. Changes to permissions, verification and property configuration are managed from Settings.

For security, use an individual company account rather than sharing one login, enable appropriate account security controls and remove access for people who no longer work on the website. Keep at least one verified owner account available so the property can be administered if another user loses access.

Access to Google Webmaster Console, now called Google Search Console, depends on signing in with the correct Google account and having permission for the relevant website property. There is no separate Webmaster Console login; your normal Google account credentials are used.

If the property is missing after you sign in, ask a verified owner to add your account under Settings and Users and permissions. Check that you are selecting the correct property, particularly where a website has both a domain property and a URL-prefix property. If sign-in itself fails, verify the account address, complete any security checks and use Google’s standard account recovery process if necessary.
