# Search Console and crawl setup

1. Add the Domain property `exams.fit`, or URL-prefix property `https://exams.fit/`, in Google Search Console.
2. In Admin → Settings, enter the HTML verification token only if you also want URL-prefix verification.
3. Submit `https://exams.fit/sitemap_index.xml` in Search Console.
4. Verify that `https://exams.fit/robots.txt` is reachable and references the same sitemap URL.
5. The included dynamic `/robots.txt` is authoritative because this build runs at the domain root.
6. Inspect a small number of important published URLs with URL Inspection after launch.
7. Test page-relevant structured data with Google's Rich Results Test.
8. Monitor Page Indexing, Crawl Stats, Core Web Vitals and Manual Actions.

Only canonical, published, indexable content is included in child sitemaps. Search and feed-only pages are noindex. A sitemap helps discovery but does not guarantee crawling, indexing, ranking, Discover visibility or AdSense approval.

Keep navigation crawlable, avoid orphan pages, use accurate last-modified dates, publish original people-first content and do not generate search variations solely to manipulate rankings.
