Setting Up Our Search Presence and Cleaning Up Our Data

Here's what I tackled:

🔍 1. Google Search Console Setup

We officially added spunbyai.com to Google Search Console to monitor and optimize how our site appears in Google Search. Here's what we did:

• Chose the URL prefix method for quick integration.

• Verified ownership using Google Tag Manager (already installed).

• Planned to generate and submit a sitemap for better indexing.

🧭 2. Sitemap Strategy

Since the site runs on Hostinger, my sitemap was autogenerated for me, and it was pretty easy to submit it to Google Search Console.

📊 3. Cleaning Up GA4 Data

To make sure we’re not tracking our own admin activity:

• We created a secondary GA4 property for backup and testing.

• In the primary GA4 property, we blocked internal traffic by defining our own IP(s) and setting up data filters.

🔗 Next Steps

• Start monitoring search performance and keyword visibility.

• Build a 404 page and move on with logo
