A properly functioning Geth execution client will indicate "Imported new potential chain segment". For example,
geth[4531]: INFO [02-04|01:20:48.280] Chain head was updated number=16000 hash=2317ae..c41107
geth[4531]: INFO [02-04|01:20:49.648] Imported new potential chain segment number=16000 hash=ab173f..33a21b

Now that your execution client is configured and started, proceed to the next step on setting up your consensus client.
If you're checking the logs and see any warnings or errors, please be patient as these will normally resolve once both your execution and consensus clients are fully synced to the Ethereum network.
