Set up Google, analytics and messages on your website
These are on the Settings tab: open Website in the side menu, then Settings. Search Console, Bing and analytics need the Owner or Editor role. Website editors can change the rest.
Google and link previews
- Describe the club in a sentence: shown under your club's name in Google results.
- Google Search Console verification: in Search Console choose "HTML tag", paste it here, publish, then press Verify. Your sitemap is at /sitemap.xml.
- Bing Webmaster Tools verification works the same way.
Analytics and cookies
Your Visitors count works without cookies. If your club uses Google Analytics, add its Google Analytics measurement ID (G-…) or a Google Tag Manager container ID. Visitors then get a cookie choice, and nothing is tracked unless they accept. Your website gets a Cookies page, and Cookie settings in the footer lets visitors change their mind.
Contact form
Add the address under Send messages to. It's never shown on the website. Choose Send a test message to check it arrives. Recent messages also show here. Add a Contact form block to a page to use it.
Pages that build themselves
What's on (the next eight weeks of runs) and Races come from your calendar. Untick them to leave them off your website. To move them in the menu, see Arrange your website's menu.
Addresses from your old website
One per line: the old address, a space, then the new one, such as /join-us-2/ /join. They start working when you choose Publish changes.
Social media and your privacy notice are on this tab too: see Add social media and your privacy notice.
