Google Website Verification

What is Website Verification?​

By verifying your website, you can inform search engines that you are the owner of the website.

This increases the likelihood of your website's information and content appearing higher in search engine results such as Google.


Why Verify Your Website?​

  1. Improved Search Ranking: Verified websites on Google are more likely to appear in search results.

  2. Search Data Analysis: Google provides various statistical data such as website traffic, visitors, and keywords.


How to Verify Your Website with Google​

To verify your website on Google, first, you need to access the "Google Search Console" and register your site.

During the registration process, select the "HTML tag" method and add the verification code provided by Google to the <head> section of your website.


Code Example​

Adding Google Site Verification Code Using Meta Tag
<head>
  <meta name="google-site-verification" content="YOUR_VERIFICATION_CODE" />
</head>

Here, replace YOUR_VERIFICATION_CODE with the unique code provided by Google Search Console.

After adding the code to your website, click the "Verify" button in the Search Console, and Google will access your website to confirm the code.
