FAQ

Why do I need Google Webmaster Tools in first place?

Google Webmaster Tools enables web masters to detect indexing issues, e.g. if the Google Bot cannot access the page or if missing pages occur in the search index.

How do I add Google Webmaster Tools to my page?

  1. Go to https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome
  2. Provide your URL in the section URL prefix, e.g. https://example.com, and click on Continue
  3. Now, open the section HTML tag within the section Other verification methods
  4. Copy the meta tag, e.g. <meta name="google-site-verification" content="BeFze6w_rrIm1NFPKJ-pDDbkf0oeqrtC5sjqb6WzCoE" />

This issue might be caused by a security plugin. If you use a security plugin, e.g. Wordfence, then disable it so save your verification code and activate it once you’re done.
