Hi,
What's the best/easiest way for a client to grant access to his Google Webmaster Tools to me?
Thanks! Best...Michael

Egol: I'm not 100% sure on that, but my suspicion is that its only for Webmasters tools, not for analytics or adwords or the like.
M: My apologies, the dashboard is actually the site page... you need to home page. When you're logged in, click the "Google WMT" logo on the top and it will take you to the home page that lists all your domains. Its on that screen.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the info. Sorry to be super dense, but as I look at my own Webmaster Tools Dashboard, I don't see a thing that says "Manage."
On the right side I see "Crawl Errors," Keywords," and "Site Maps." Are we tallking about two different pages perhaps?
Thanks...Michael

Ryan,
Do you know if that grants access only to WMT or does that give the new owner an ability to sniff other parts of the google account?
Thanks!

From their dashboard there is a link on the right hand side of every domain that reads "Manage". Click that and select Add or Remove Owners. And on the next page at the bottom click Add Owners, then add your google account email.

Hi Michael,
The easiest way is to get his/her username and password...
Failing that, and assuming you have FTP access, just add the site to your own Webmaster Tools account and go through the verification process - You can verify one site in multiple webmaster tools accounts with no negative impact.

Site Audit Tools Not Picking Up Content Nor Does Google Cache
Hi Guys, Got a site I am working with on the Wix platform. However site audit tools such as Screaming Frog, Ryte and even Moz's onpage crawler show the pages having no content, despite them having 200 words+. Fetching the site as Google clearly shows the rendered page with content, however when I look at the Google cached pages, they also show just blank pages. I have had issues with nofollow, noindex on here, but it shows the meta tags correct, just 0 content. What would you look to diagnose? I am guessing some rogue JS but why wasn't this picked up on the "fetch as Google".

Difference between SEOMOZ and Webmaster Tools information
Hello, There is an issue that confuses me and I thought perhaps you will be able to help me shed some light on it. I have a website which shows 2,549 crawled pages on SEOMOZ and 24,542 pages on webmaster tools! Obviously there is some technical issue with the site, but my question is: why the vast difference between what the SEOMOZ crawl report and webmaster tools report show? Thanks! Guy Cizner

How do SE's see abbreviated queries.
Do search engines pay attention to periods in abbreviated queries? If I use Mt. Bachelor all over my site, would SE's not rank my site well for queries that use Mt Bachelor?

How can I find my Webmaster Tools HTML file?
So, totally amateur hour here, but I can't for the life of me find our HTML verification file for webmaster tools. I see nowhere to look at it in Google Webmaster Tools console, I tried a site:, I googled it, all the info out there is about how to verify a site. Ours is verified, but I need the verification file code to sync up with the Google API and no one seems to have it. Any thoughts?

Internet Explorer and Chrome showing different SERP's
Well the title says it all really. Same query, different browsers, same computer and different search results. I thought at first it may have differed because I was logged into my google profile on chrome but I logged out and tested and still different results. Is this normal ?
