Google Search Console All Verfication Methods Failed

[jaynamarino]

Hi Guys,

We are trying to get google webmaster tools verified for this site: https://www.nookie.com.au/

We have implemented the recommended: HTML tag from Search Console which is:

Which is installed see: http://prntscr.com/g66cle

However, verification still failed. We then tried Google Analytics (failed), alternative methods (HTML file upload failed) Google Tag Manager.

All failed. I have no idea why this has happened, any ideas?

Cheers.

Until I know, you can verify any property no matter the order

http://www.site.com
http://site.com
https://www.site.com
http://www.site.com

The important thing is register all and then set the right version

Hi ViviaCa1,

I don't believe you need to verify the http version first before https, are you 100% sure about this?

[ViviCa1]

Have you already verified the website with http? When verifying https websites you need to add and verify the website with just http first: http://www.nookie.com.au/

Ok this is your tag

In you case you have many options available
1.If you have access to your cpanel and your hosting, just dowload the verication code (html file available as an option on search console) you dowload the file and then upload it to your htdocs folder (www folder). IMPORTANT on this case when you finish to upload the file. Be sure that the HTML file is available to the crawler. Just type directly on chrome www.yoursite.com/theverificationcode.html if the browser shows you the page everything is right and then you should try to verify the website, if not maybe you have a problem in your hosting or in your htaccess file.

2.As you mention you have problem with the html tag, on this case make sure that you are using the right tag, first check that the code is right or make sure that you are not using the code of other of your properties, remember  that search console use a unique code for every user so make sure that is the right code (maybe in the website you are using the code of other person) THE IMPORTANT THING IS MAKE A DOUBLE CHECK TO THE CODE

3. I didn't found any Google Analytics Script, so first add the google analytics tracking code and then try to verify the property.
