How to get Google HTML verification code from Google?

[Kyikyi]

Hello,

I just verified by website with Google from my Google Search Console.

But I cannot find the HTML tag I need to enter in Square Online under Settings>Tracking Tools?

Do I need to enter something in Sitemaps in Google Search Console? I found instructions in Square Support instructing to enter sitemap.xml but when I enter I get "enter a valid path to a sitemap in your site."

I called Square Tech Support & they're saying I don't need to enter anything in "enter sitemap" field in Google Search Console. Meantime, I cannot find the HTML tag on Google Search console.

I'm not technically savvy and so confused. 

Please help. Thank you so much.

Hi @Kyikyi 

THere are a few different ways you can verify your site with Google.  Here are some alternative methods as well. 

If you navigate to search.google.com and then settings>ownership verification it should give you a few different options to choose from.  From there you can copy the tag they they provide and paste it the spot for Square.

I don't use Square Online, so I'm not 100% sure of the verification process with that and google. 

As for the sitemaps, what you will do is type your website address into a new url followed by /sitemap.xml   

This will (should) bring up your different sitemaps.  You can then list those into google search console, one by one. 

Let me know if that helps, or if you are still having trouble with verification
