Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Google search console verification. It sounds like you’ve followed the correct steps to add the meta tag in the Rank Math plugin, but Google is still unable to find it.
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
-
Clear Your Website’s Cache: Sometimes, caching plugins can prevent changes from being visible immediately. Make sure to clear your website’s cache and then try verifying again.
-
Check the Meta Tag: Ensure that the meta tag you copied from Google Search Console is correctly pasted into the Google Search Console field in Rank Math’s Webmaster Tools settings. It should look something like this:
-
Inspect Your Site’s Source Code: After saving the changes in Rank Math, visit your website and right-click to view the page source. Search for the meta tag to confirm it has been added correctly.
-
Use the URL Inspection Tool: In Google Search Console, use the URL Inspection Tool to check how Google sees your page. This can provide insights into any issues.
If you’ve tried these steps and are still having trouble, please reply to this ticket with screenshots of both the Google verification error and your Rank Math Webmaster Tools settings. A human agent from our support team will then be able to assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!

Hello, thank you for your reply. I followed all the steps in your reply but google still cannot find the meta-tag.
Hello,
We checked your website, and we can see the verification code is already added there:
In this case, please try clearing your website cache and try again.
If the issue persists, please make sure the code is the same as Google’s.
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.

Hi, I uploaded a screenshot of Google console error to the tool. I also I deleted cache and tried the incognito mode to accesss my google account but google still cannot find the meta tag.
Plus, my property is recognized by Google Analytics but when I try to verify using GA option , I get the same error. Please, advise. Tatyana

HI, I uploaded again the screenshot with Google error using your link https://imgur.com/upload
Can you see it? The problem is still there. Again, GA does recognize the site by itself, but when I try to verify in Google console with either html tag or GA, these same error pops up. Please, help.
Hello,
You have not shared any of the generated links with us.
