Should a sub domain be a separate property in the Search Console?

[HeroDesignStudio]

We're launching a blog on a sub-domain of a corp site (blog.corpsite.com). We already have corpsite.com set up in the Search Console. Should I set up a separate property for this sub-domain in the Search Console (WMT) in order to manage it? Is it necessary?

Thanks,

JM

Yes, you have to create a property for every subdomain since every subdomain has different peculiarities, like the instructions in robots.txt

You may also want to reconsider to put your blog in a subfolder instead a subdomain. This has been the recommedation from Moz for a long time and still is.
