Add the brand's YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and X accounts to Search Console as platform properties

Level
May

Optional: worth doing where it fits.

Documentation

Documented

At least one cited Google document states or supports it.

Covered

Guided

Guided, attested and tracked until it expires.

Why it matters

Platform properties show the traffic Google Search, Discover and Google News send to a verified Instagram, TikTok, X or YouTube account, with its top content, query groups and countries, but not how often content is seen on the platform itself. Verification runs inside Search Console through a permission pop-up from the platform, with no token, and accounts of a claimed Search profile are added automatically.

How to meet it

Add one property per account or channel, record who owns each login, re-verify when the external login expires (access pauses until then), and compare formats by URL pattern in comparison mode, for example /watch against /shorts/ on YouTube.

How to test it

Every official account appears as a platform property with data, and the launch checklist names the owner of each login.

How Regensbot covers it

GuidedNeedsYour verified site

Regensbot walks you through the check in Search Console, collects the screenshot or export and tracks when the attestation expires. Attested is never shown as pass.

This setting or report lives in a Search Console screen that no API exposes, so a person checks it.

You verify the site by a DNS TXT record, a meta tag or a file. Regensbot then keeps a checklist item for this requirement, with a state, a guide, an evidence upload and reminders.
