Updated January 17, 2023
Verifying your domain in Google Search Console requires placing a meta tag in exactly the right location within GoHighLevel, which trips up many agency owners. Follow these steps to add the verification meta tag to your default page SEO settings and complete domain verification successfully.
A meta tag for your Google site verification needs to be added to the ‘Default Page’ which is connected to the domain.
Step 1: Determine the Default Page
- Navigate to Settings > Domains.
- Click in to edit a domain so you can see which default page it is connected to.
- Navigate to Sites and go to the page builder for the default page connected to the domain, and open Settings > SEO Meta Deta.
Step 2: Add a new Custom Meta Tag in the SEO Meta Data
- Copy the name from within the meta tag and add it to the name field.
- In this example, the tag is <meta name=”google-site-verification” content=”examplenumer11223344″ /> – so I will add the name: google-site-verification
- Copy the content “examplenumer11223344” and add it to the content field
- Save the tag, and then update meta data
- Save the page
Your domain should now get verified successfully on the Google Search Console.
