Verifying ownership of website on google analytics step by step -

Here’s a step-by-step guide to verify ownership of your website using Google Analytics:

✅ Before You Begin

Make sure you have already:

Have a Google account.
They are signed into Google Analytics (https://analytics.google.com/).
Have Google Analytics tracking code (GA4) installed on your website.
Have Editor or Admin access in the Google Analytics property.

🔁 Step-by-Step: Verifying Website Ownership via Google Analytics in Google Search Console

Step 1: Go to Google Search Console

Open: https://search.google.com/search-console

Step 2: Add a Property

Click the “Add Property” button (top left dropdown).
Choose between:
- Domain (includes all subdomains and protocols)
- URL Prefix (e.g., https://www.example.com only)
For GA verification, choose URL Prefix and enter your full website URL (including https://).

Step 3: Select Google Analytics Verification Method

On the verification methods screen, choose:
- Google Analytics (GA4) from the list.
It should automatically detect the tracking code if:
- You have GA4 installed correctly.
- You are logged into the same Google account with access to that GA property.

Step 4: Click “Verify.”

Google will attempt to verify ownership using the Google Analytics tag.
If successful, you’ll see a “Ownership Verified” message.

📌 Troubleshooting Tips

Ensure the GA4 tag is installed in the <head> section of your website.
Use tools like Tag Assistant to confirm the GA tag is firing.
Check for any ad blockers or script blockers that might prevent detection.

🛠 Alternate Methods (if GA fails)

If verification through GA doesn’t work, you can use:

HTML file upload
Meta tag
Google Tag Manager
DNS verification (for domain-wide verification)
