Transferring Google Search Console to another account is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps. This can be helpful if you’re changing roles within your organization, transferring ownership of a website, or simply want to consolidate your Google Search Console accounts.
Steps to Transfer Google Search Console:
- Log in to Google Search Console: Access your Google Search Console account using the credentials of the account you want to transfer from.
- Navigate to Settings: In the top right corner of the screen, click on the gear icon to access the settings menu.
- Select “User Permissions”: From the settings menu, choose “User Permissions.”
- Add a New User: Click on the “Add user” button.
- Enter the Email Address: Input the email address of the account you want to transfer the property to.
- Grant Permissions: Choose the appropriate permissions for the new user. Typically, you’ll want to grant them “Owner” or “Full Access” permissions to give them complete control over the property.
- Save Changes: Click “Save” to confirm the changes.
- Verify Transfer: Log in to the new account and check if the property has been successfully transferred. You should see the property listed under your account.
Note:
- Ownership Transfer: If you’re transferring ownership of the property entirely, you might want to consider removing the original account’s permissions after the transfer is complete.
- Multiple Users: You can add multiple users with different permissions to a property. This is useful for collaboration and managing access.
By following these steps, you can effectively transfer Google Search Console properties between accounts, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining access to valuable data and insights.
