SEO Saurus Launch: Tracking and Navigation Updates 🚀🔍

The website is live and I shared the news on LinkedIn! To kick things off, I’ve integrated Google Search Console for tracking, keeping it simple. The template development continues, focusing on styling content elements.

I’m playing around with the navigation and have added a changelog as plain text until the blog is ready. I use different structures for mobile and desktop, but I typically stick to this HTML layout:

<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Menu Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu Item 3</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Language 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Language 2</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>

I’ve also added a favicon using files generated from favicon.io. These are integrated into the template with TypoScript, but I had to save the icons directly to the /public folder since Bing requires the favicon at the domain root (/favicon.ico). While custom generators are great, some browsers, like Bing, might ignore the favicon in search results.

What is Google Search Console?

Google Search Console is a free tool provided by Google that helps website owners monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot their site's presence in Google Search results. It offers insights into how a site performs in search, including information on indexing status, search queries, and user interactions. Webmasters can also use it to submit sitemaps, identify and fix issues affecting search visibility, and improve their site's SEO performance. It's a valuable tool for ensuring a website is accessible and optimized for search engines.
