This SOP is a work in progress. If you notice anything that is out of date, could be more clear or could be more efficient please update the SOP or add a comment to start a conversation.
Purpose
This SOP serves as clear instructions to set up a new Google Search Console property for 
Dealers Spike and ARI new clients.
Procedure
Inputs:
Live website and its URL in its HTTPs format.
- CMS access or FTP Notepad++ plugin installed.
Enter the https://search.google.com/search-console?resource_id=https://www.ridenowsocal.com/ in the correct Google Chrome profile. Each agency has its own Google account to add this new property.
- Uses the sem@arinet.com Google account for its new properties.
- Uses the seo@dealerspike.com Google account for its new properties (currently this account is getting closer to being full, so if when creating a new property you get a message indicating that the account is full, please message your team lead).
Google Search Console properties can be added in two ways: Domain or URL prefix. We’ll focus on the URL prefix method.
Click on the drop-down menu in the top left of your screen. This will bring up all the properties, here you can search for a previous setup of the same property. If there is not one, click on +Add Property at the bottom of this list.
Paste the full https URL in the URL prefix box and click on continue.
