Configure YOAST with multiple websites on Google Search Console

Ultimately, each of the above protocols should all point to one single option, your preferred URL format. This preferred format is the one you should select.

Do I redirect them all to one place on Google Search Console? From what I have been, Google treats each url format differently as if they are different websites.

That’s why I am concerned that if I define all of those links in Google Search Console, I want google to treat them all as if 1 single website. Because YOAST wants a single website registered in Google.

Sorry for the confusion. They should all be redirected to one format at the server level, not within Google Search Console.

Within Google Search Console, you would claim all four formats and set your preferred format (steps here).

Google should report almost all issues to the profile that matches the preferred format so this format is the one you should use in our plugin.

That being said, you should check the other three formats in the event Google has found problems with one of the other formats. Since Google is reporting most issues to the preferred format, you do not have to check the other three formats on a regular basis. Depending on your site, this could be monthly, quarterly or even annually.

I hope that clears up the answer.
