Console to offer “domain properties” — Google Search

Fresh feature will combine different domain name variations.

Google Search Console domain properties imageGoogle is introducing a fresh concept called “domain properties” to its Google Seach Console.

Website owners use Google Search Console to get insight into their Google search traffic counting keyword data, spidering and links. The search giant asks site owners to add all possible variations of their main URL to the service: http, https, www, non-www, m. (people are still doing that?) etc.

But this makes it hard to see all of your site’s data in one location. Enter domain properties, which combines all of these versions of the site into one for easy consumption. A domain property includes all protocols, subdomains, and paths.

Google will automatically create domain properties within the next few weeks for site owners with DNS verification set up.
