I approved but would also be curious what this actually does?

@antonymilne So when we next do a release, this means mkdocs will build a site verification tag into google search console. The site console will trust that we own the site, and will report on the google search keywords that brought users to the vizro.readthedocs.io pages.

It basically gives us some better insights into what we're ranking for (and what our users are looking for when we surface on Google and they're convinced by the metadata text to follow the link). We can match up if we're delivering in the docs what the user looked for and, if not, plan to improve it.

Sadly, we can't use google analytics since that keeps track of users across the site and there are various European GDPR implications. But search console is safe since it's search data that is kept by google, not tracked by us.

Oh nice, that sounds great. I look forward to hearing what we learn from this tracking 👍
