Keep Search Console connected through the switch, with your verification carried over.
Overview
Search Console is Google’s own report on how your site shows up in search. If your old site is verified in it, the verification usually lives in a small tag on your homepage, and switching sites would normally break it.
We read that tag from your old site and put it on your new one, so your Search Console stays connected and your history carries on. Every Rule & Form site also publishes a sitemap, the list of pages Google reads.
Soon the searches that find you will show up in your portal too, beside the pages they lead to and the leads they bring in.

Questions
I’ve never used Search Console. Do I need it?
No. Your site is built for search either way. Search Console is a report you can look at if you’d like to.
Will my rankings reset?
No. Every old address keeps answering, and your verification carries over, so Google keeps what it knew.
Does it cost extra?
No. It’s part of your Rule & Form plan.
