Step-by-Step Guide to Verify Your Website with Google Search Console Using HTML Tag

Here is the complete process to verify your website with Google Search Console using the HTML tag method, including instructions for involving BeNimble's support team:

Step 1: Sign In to Google Search Console

Visit the Google Search Console website.
Log in with your Google account or create one if you don't already have an account.

Step 2: Add Your Website

In the Google Search Console dashboard, click on "Start now" or "Add a property".
Choose the "URL prefix" option and enter your website's full URL
Click "Continue".

Step 3: Choose the HTML Tag Verification Method

Google will present several verification methods.
Select the "HTML tag" method.
Copy the HTML meta tag provided by Google. Do not attempt to add the tag to your website yourself.

Step 4: Send the HTML Meta Tag to BeNimble Support

Email the HTML meta tag to BeNimble's support team at help@benimble.co.za from your registered email address.
In the email, include:
- The subject: "Google Search Console HTML Tag for Verification"
- Your website URL
- The HTML meta tag provided by Google
BeNimble's team will add the meta tag to your website and inform you once it has been completed.

Step 5: Verify Your Website in Google Search Console

Once BeNimble has confirmed that the meta tag has been added to your site, go back to the Google Search Console.
Click on "Verify" in the URL prefix settings.

Step 6: Confirmation of Verification

If the verification is successful, you'll see a confirmation message from Google.
Your website is now verified, and you can start using Google Search Console to monitor and optimize your website's performance.

Additional Tips

Verification may take a few minutes to reflect in Google Search Console.
If the verification fails, contact BeNimble Support to ensure that the meta tag was properly added to your site.

This process ensures that BeNimble takes care of adding the necessary meta tag for your website verification, making it easier for you to proceed with the Google Search Console setup.
