Question:
Hi all I am new to Wix & web design. I have just built my first site and going through the steps to go live on the WWW. I have a question. After going through the SEO set up it asks. This site is now connected to Google Search Console but if I go to the Google search console and type in my web address URL prefix when I verify I get the following error
Ownership verification failed
Verification method: HTML file
Failure reason: Your verification file was not found in the required location.
Please fix your implementation and reverify, or use another verification method.
Hey! You need to upload the same verification file (which you have downloaded from your Search Console) to the root your website. See this article for more info.
Although Your website must have connected automatically, that’s alright; you can easily fix this error.
Choose Another Verification method in the Search Console. HTML Tag and Domain Name Provider are the easiest ones.
If you want to use the HTML Tag method, Simply copy the code from the code from the search console and paste it in your website’s head code. To do that, go to the Settings>Custom Code. You will need a premium site for this.
