In order to add a new property on the GSC dashboard, head straight to the upper left corner and locate the domains list. As soon as you open it up, keep scrolling down until you spot “+ Add Property” at the very bottom. Click this button.

Add the domain property to the list of domains on gsc

Right after you click, you will see a popup window with two options to go about:

  1. Domain New
  2. URL prefix

The option you need is the first one. So there, you need to type the domain name.

Make sure you type only the domain without the port protocols. For example, speed.cy and not https://speed.cy
