Validate with Google Webmaster Tools

To use the Google Webmaster Tools, you will need to validate your site/domain ownership.

We support three methods of validation

1. Existing Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager validation

Using the Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager validation methods are the easiest methods to validate your domain. But this requires the user validating the Site to also have access to these other Google services.

If you do not have access, you should continue with one of the other validation options

2. Using our Google Site Verification plugin

For this method, you will choose the alternate verification method of "HTML Tag" within the Google dashboard.

You can enable this plugin within the Site Builder for your site. You can then take the content of the HTML tag that Google gives you and place that into the "Meta Content" field within the Plugin.

Example of meta tag from google:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="T2VmL78ZB3xwKJbyQ_ZSRvY2XXXXX">

In this case, you would enter T2VmL78ZB3xwKJbyQ_ZSRvY2XXXXX into the Meta Content field.

3. Adding to Header Code

For this method, you will choose the alternate verification method of "HTML Tag" within the Google dashboard.

If you do not have access to the Google Site Validation for the Site, you can instead take the meta tag you receive from Google and add that right into the Header Code area within the Site Builder for your site.

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="T2VmL78ZB3xwKJbyQ_ZSRvY2XXXXX">
