After a couple of weeks with some fairly simple tutorials, we’re back doing a more advanced one this week.

If you’re a website builder, Google can give you whole bunch of weapons to help you build and maintain the best website possible. This includes the Google Verify tool that we’ve discussed in a previous post.

Google call these ‘Google WebMaster Tools’. Watch the tutorial to find out how to sign up:

Try signing up to Google Webmaster tools, and let us know what you find

Google verify is an advanced webmaster tool that is now integrated into the WebEden website making system. We’ve released this following much hard work and thanks to lots of requests from you, the user.

Google Verify is an important way to let Google know about your website. It helps Google to find all the content on your website, and allows you to quickly update them when your website changes. If you use Google verify it also means that you get access to information that Google holds about your website. Once you know what they know about your website, you can take steps to change and improve that information. The ultimate goal, as ever, is to improve your position in the Search Engine Results page; and also to improve users experience on your website.

All users can now use Google Verify with their WebEden websites.

To add Google Verify to your site, please just follow the simple instructions below:

1.    Log in to your website
2.    Select “Admin” on the toolbar
3.    Visit the “Site Information” tab
4.    Click on the “Sign up for Google Webmaster Tools” button
