Do you want to add and verify your website with Yandex Webmaster Tools so that it appears in Yandex search results?
If you want your website to reach more visitors, especially in Russia and nearby countries, it’s important to optimize it for Yandex, a major search engine in that region. Yandex Webmaster Tools can help you manage your site’s presence in Yandex search results. By verifying your site, you can understand how it’s performing and make improvements to attract more users.
This guide will show you how to easily add and verify your website in Yandex Webmaster Tools using the HTML tag method with the CrawlWP WordPress plugin.
Adding Your Website to Yandex Webmaster Tools
The first step is to visit the Yandex Webmaster Tools website and click on the “Add Site” button. This will take you to the login page to log into your account or create a new one.
After successful login, you should immediately see the “Site Address” page, where you can enter your website’s URL and click Add.
Verifying Your Website on Yandex Webmaster Tools
Once your site has been added, select the Meta tag verification option.
Yandex will provide you with a meta tag. Copy the entire tag (e.g., <meta name="yandex-verification" content="your-verification-code" />).
Adding the Verification Code in CrawlWP
Navigate to CrawlWP >> Settings >> Core >> Site Verification, paste the copied HTML tag content into the Yandex Verification Code field and save the changes.
Confirming Verification in Yandex Webmaster Tools
The last step is to return to the Yandex Webmaster Tools verification page and click the Verify button.
If successful, you will be redirected to the Access Rights page, indicating that your site has been verified. If verification fails, ensure you have copied the correct tag and saved changes in CrawlWP before trying again.
Conclusion
Adding your website to Yandex Webmaster Tools is essential for improving your online visibility in the Yandex search engine.
By gaining insights into your site’s performance on Yandex, you can make data-driven optimizations that enhance your website user experience and boost traffic.
The CrawlWP plugin makes the verification process easier, allowing you to connect your site to Yandex quickly and efficiently.
