Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
If you’re getting that error message, it seems that you don’t have the JSON Key correctly inserted in your settings. Please make sure to either upload the JSON file or its contents to the JSON Key text area.
Please follow the instructions once again. Try to add the service account properly and cross-check the settings.

This is a tried and tested method and we are certain these instructions work. It is possible that you missed a step or incorrectly chose some option.
We would request you to go through the steps once again.
I hope that helps.
Thank you.
Hi Kamlesh,
I rechecked everything and the JSON file uploaded also is correct.
However, I am getting a new error now – Permission denied. Failed to verify the URL ownership.
I checked my GSC, to cross-verify the ownership of a new user. But, the same has been inputted correctly.
I am not understanding the issue, even after I followed all the steps.
Hello,
Please follow these steps to fix the issue:
