  • Shahab Rabbani Malik: Same GSC account. Maybe you need to add a new property with https.
  • Jeremy S Cowan: Add the new https urls ( www and none www) to your GSC account
  • Peter Nikolow: Or you can verify your site as domain:
    https://webmasters.googleblog.com/.../announcing-domain...
  • Kristine Schachinger: Peter Nikolow don`t do that. Can`t see individual properties can`t submit a disavow
  • Michael Stricker: Just make sure you can segment the HTTP org. search results from the HTTPS so you can monitor a smooth transition, or see errors emerge.
  • Kristine Schachinger: Michael Stricker yeah never do a domain properties account can`t use a dissvow
