Google Verification

smmayhem — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 18:08:50 GMT

Hi... trying to do the Google Verification for my site, but when I copy from Google and then paste the provided HTML tag into the Square settings, it keeps indicating that the format is incorrect. It may want a meta name but I have no idea how to change the Google provided code into something that works within the Square framework.

Example: google-site-verification=MIVqOFl-8RAn0U7Fk74s1C9DNByeYs98ad-NxvjeI9Y

The above is provide from Google Console but doesn't seem to be in the right format that will be accepted into the Square settings. Help and thanks!

Rick

Thanks... I saw the example listed in the field prior to my entry. Sorry... but what is the "Meta Name"? What text would be entered for that? This may be what's missing in my entry. Thanks again! smmayhem

Hi @smmayhem,

I googled meta name for you and found this article that might be helpful.

We've been having the same issue for about a month!

Still cannot verify, add our Tracking ID, and get data in for anything.

Any Help out there?

Hello, @Mivacollective,

I'd be happy to ask around for you and to consult with our Square Online Specialist.

I'll be back with more details when I have them.

Have a good day.

Hello, @Mivacollective.

Can you please confirm if you are adding the analytics ID that starts with UA-. Can you try adding the ID with just the numbers, excluding the "UA-" part? Also, is there a different code or script you are trying to add?

Below you can see where the number needs to be added. Please let us know if this looks different on your end.

Thanks. We will be on the lookout for your reply.
