859918 - Enable webmaster tools for marketplace

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

I'd like to be able to use the SEO and other tools tied to GA but I see:

"Enabling Webmaster Tools data within Analytics
Once you connect a site you own in Webmaster Tools to your Analytics property, its data becomes visible in your Search Engine Optimization reports. You can visit the Property Settings page in Analytics account management to change which of your Webmaster Tools sites' data you wish to show, and control which profiles on your Web Property have access to view the data."

Can we get this enabled for marketplace?

Please add this meta tag to the homepage of marketplace and publish to production and Google will be able to verify ownership of the site.

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="XhMUzMo_1XF_gE3oDEbbZXe7YFRse5S1i56GRYAsZ6c" />

It can be removed after verification.

Will be live in production on Tuesday at 2:00 PDT.

Curious: how will these Webmaster tools work within a packaged app?

Webmaster tools don't apply to packaged apps (since Google doesn't spider apps).

Yes, that. The Webmaster tools may only help with people discovering marketplace via organic search, but that probably won't be the primary funnel with a packaged app.

Has this code been merged and pushed to prod?

This is currently on prod

I've made the connection between the webmaster tools and Google Analytics. The section in GA at Traffic Sources > Search Engine Optimization should be working now. It will take a few days for data to start filing up those reports.

For some reason marketplace.firefox.com is no longer verified in webmaster tools. Can we get the meta tag in comment 2 back added the homepage?

It appears to be verified now and I've added mbasta as a user.
