Post-launch: register the LIVE site with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, verify ownership, submit the sitemap, and turn on IndexNow so Bing/Yandex get pinged the moment content changes. For a Cloudflare-hosted Astro site: GSC Domain property verified by a Cloudflare DNS TXT record + submit `sitemap-index.xml`; Bing the easy way via "Import from Google Search Console" (auto-verifies + pulls the sitemap); IndexNow by flipping ONE toggle — Cloudflare Crawler Hints — no key file to host. Account creation + the DNS record are human actions the agent drafts but can't click. Trigger phrases: "set up Google Search Console", "Search Console", "GSC", "Bing Webmaster Tools", "submit my sitemap", "register the site with Google", "verify site ownership", "enable IndexNow", "Crawler Hints", "get indexed", "submit the website to search engines".

The agent drafts the exact TXT value and the sitemap URL; the owner > pastes/clicks. > **Console UI labels are localized** — the click paths below are quoted from the > English UI; if the owner's account language differs, translate the labels for them > (German: *Property hinzufügen*, *DNS → Einträge → Eintrag hinzufügen*, *Aus der > Google Search Console importieren*, *Caching → Konfiguration*). ## 1. Google Search Console (Google) 1. Go to https://search.google.com/search-console and sign in. 2. **Add property → "Domain"** (covers http+https, www+apex, all subdomains — the right default). Google shows a **TXT record** to add to DNS. 3. **Add the TXT record in Cloudflare** (DNS is on Cloudflare): dashboard → your domain → **DNS → Records → Add record** → Type `TXT`, Name `@`, Content = the `google-site-verification=…
