I recently learned of GoDaddy’s new feature of adding Google’s Webmaster Tools to the built in features you get with your hosting account. This is just another reason why I love to recommend them — they are always adding new features to benefit all their hosting plans.
What this new addition gives you is the chance to have all your sites hosted with GoDaddy automatically connected into the suite of webmaster tools that Google offers. So now from directly within your control panel you can tap into information about how Google sees your site. That is:
- Is your site in the Google Database?
- Are there any site issues where Google is concerned?
- What do the crawl statistics look like?
- What does your site’s visibility look like in Google’s search results?
Using a combination of the Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics (separate from the webmaster tools) you can get a LOT of information about your account for free.
If you don’t host with GoDaddy, you can still tap into the full set of Google Webmaster Tools at their website. Same great stuff just an additional step you need to take separate from your hosting account.
