We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Verify Ownership of Your Site on Google Webmaster

  • Updated:

A Google Webmaster Account is a way to verify ownership of your website and be able to request updates of your links that rerun in the Google search results to your visitors. To request an update to links, you must create a Google Webmaster account and request the re-crawl (or re-index). Once your site ownership has been verified, you can request a crawl or submit a sitemap via the Webmaster Tools interface to update the Google search results.

 

As the owner of your website, it is best practice for you to create and maintain this account so that you can maintain your own Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and have access to the console as needed.
