+ | ====== How to verify your site in Google Search Console (formally Google Webmaster Tools) ====== | ||
+ | Once your site is live, log into your [[https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/|Google Search Console account]]. | ||
+ | Make sure you log in with a Google account. Usually these are emails that end in @gmail.com but if your company is using google apps they might end with your company's domain name. | ||

+ | Verify your site by adding a meta tag | ||
+ | - On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the Manage Site button next to the site you want, and then click Verify this site. | ||
+ | - If HTML tag is not visible on the Recommended method tab, click the Alternate methods tab. | ||
+ | - Select HTML tag, and follow the steps on your screen. | ||
+ | - Please send us this tag in an email and we will add it to your site. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the site does not verify immediately, wait a couple hours and try again. There could be a delay on Google's end on the verification. |
