Digital Plumbing

If you purchased a tier 2 or 3 site, a VA will execute the digital plumbing checklist which includes setting up your Google Tag Manager account. Please refer to our access checklist. Tier 1 customers can purchase the Digital Plumbing course to learn how to set up their digital plumbing themselves or contact us for information about our done-for-you EXPRESS: Digital Plumbing package.

Next, create a new search console property by navigating to https://search.google.com/search-console and clicking the Property Selector -> Add Property

  1. Provide your site’s domain and select URL-Prefixed Property. *later versions will use the Domain Properties and DNS verification.
  2. Copy the code snippet from the verification page.
  3. In the site’s GTM container, create a new custom html tag and provide the code you just copied.
  4. Publish the changes.
  5. Finally, navigate to Search Console and click “Verify”.

Content

Navigate to Admin -> Pages and click “Edit” to begin populating the templates with content.

Go through each page one-by-one, making sure all placeholders are replaced with your content.

Each template contains placeholders with instructions on which content to include in each section of the site.

Some sections may ask you to revise the bio by summarizing or providing a shortened version instead of the whole bio.

If the instructions are bold, make sure to remove the bold formatting on the text you provide.

If any changes are requested, implement them as needed.
