To verify the website ownership you have to follow the following methods-
 
 

Upload HTML file

 
This is the first and recommended method to verify your website. If You choose the upload HTML file method, you got the download HTML file option. You have to simply download the HTML file. Now upload it specified location as per instruction.

Don’t change any alphabet in the HTML file. You have to upload it without any changes in the downloaded file.
 
If you do any smallest change in that file Search Console is not able to verify your website.
 
After Adding the HTML file you have to click on the Verify button.
 
If the file uploaded successfully, you will introduce with a verified page.
 
If you have verified your website by this way, don’t delete the HTML code from your website.
 
 

HTML tag

 
This method is the easiest and simplest method to verify the website owner.
This method comes under Alternative method. You cannot see it in the Recommended method.

For this method, you should click on the Alternate method and you will see the HTML tag option.
 
Here you have to click on HTML tag and the HTML code will open. Now copy the code carefully. No one alphabet should be excepted. You have to put this code between <head> and </head> in your website’s HTML file.
 
After this simple process, you have to do the final step. That is clicking the Verify button.
 
This is the way of HTML tag by which you can verify your website ownership.
Once your website verified by Search Console, Don’t remove the code from your website.
 
 

Domain name provider

 
Domain name provider is the simple method to verify your website with Google Search Console. For applying this method you have to contact the website of your domain.

By this method, you prove not only the ownership of your website but also it proves the ownership of all subdomain which is associated with your domain.
 
This is a great method to verify the website if you have a big website.
 
For this method, you have to click on the Alternate method. This option is placed in the Alternate method. You can see this option in the Recommended method.
 
After that, it will ask you to choose your domain provider. You have to choose the correct option (godaddy.com). If your domain provider is not available in the list you have to click on other.
 
After that, you will get the instruction for how to create a DNS TXT for domain provider of yours.
 
If the option DNS TXT is not working with your domain provider you have other option named as CNAME record.
 
 

Google Analytics

 
Google analytics is the other one code method to verify the website. This is also an easy method for you. You have to simply copy and paste the code. The code using in this method is known as a tracking code.

If can find this option in Alternate method only. It is not placed in the Recommended method. You have to click on the asynchronous tracking code.
 
Now you have to copy this code and paste it in your HTML file of the website. 
 
Remember this tracking code should be paste between <head> and </head> of your website XML code.

Google Tag Manager is also an easy way to prove your ownership for your website. But it is not a short method. It is a long method compare to other above methods.
