      I had a site that was http://www.site.com and now the entire site is https://www.site.com.

      I notice in WMT its showing  https://wwwsite.com listed as not verified.  I never added it, but did Google recognize it and added it to my list of sites?

      • Do I need to verify it? Is it ok to have verified http:www.site.com and additionally https://www.site.com

      Also, i submitted a new sitemap and indexed pages are low. Will that go up as Google crawls the site?

      The https://www.site.com was launched about a week ago.

      Thanks.

        Short answer - Yes

        slightly less short answer -  just like most people add www. and none www. to webmasters its good to do the same for secure sites while not essential its good to make sure you've got all bases covered also means you don't miss any communications from Google that may come through that site. Let me know if you want more info and ill do my best to get it to you.
