SEO & site healthHow do I give an agency access to Google Search Console?
In Search Console go to Settings, then Users, and add your agency's email. They can see everything and fix issues, but they cannot remove you as verified owner.
Two situations, one page. If you don't have your Google Search Console account yet, create it first and it stays yours. If you already have it, jump straight to inviting your agency. Pick your situation below.
You keep ownership. You're the verified owner. The people you add are users, so they can see everything and fix issues, but can't remove you.

Search Console is how Google talks to you about your website: what you rank for, what's broken. Free, and it only needs setting up once.

If Google Analytics or Tag Manager is already on your site with the same Google account, verification is automatic, just one click. If not, the agency or person you're adding can help you with it.
