What verification methods are available?

Verification

Google Search Console offers five verification methods:

  1. DNS TXT record - Add a record through your domain registrar. Required for Domain properties.
  2. HTML file upload - Upload a verification file to your site's root directory.
  3. HTML meta tag - Add a <meta> tag to your homepage's <head> section.
  4. Google Analytics - Verify using your existing GA tracking code.
  5. Google Tag Manager - Verify using your GTM container snippet.

WordPress users can also use plugins like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or Google's official Site Kit for simplified verification.

How AutoPSEO helps

Verification only needs to happen once per property. After that, AutoPSEO can see the property immediately: sign in with the Google account that owns it, tick the property on the My Sites page and the dashboard fills up with the last 16 months of data within a minute.
