How to Verify Your Website Domain Ownership - GSC
Verify website domain ownership on Google Search Console
- Go to Google Search Console.
- Click Start Now.
- Select the correct website property on the top left, or click Add Property in the drop-down box.
- Scroll down in the left menu, and click on Settings.
- Choose one of the verification methods listed below and follow the instructions. The verification page will list which methods are available and recommended for your site.
- If you are unable to verify site ownership for some reason, ask a current owner to grant you access to the property in Search Console.
Using multiple verification methods
You can add multiple verification methods in your property's verification settings page. You might want to add more than one verification method in case one of your existing verification methods fails (for example, if you verified using a Google Analytics tracking code, and someone changes a template on your website that omits the tag).
To add an additional verification method, visit the Settings page for the property and click Ownership verification
Multiple people can verify ownership of the same website property, using the same or different verification methods. If you use the same verification method, just be sure that you don't overwrite the verification tokens of any other owners.
Verifying child properties
Once you have verified a property, any child properties that you add will be auto-verified using the same verification method as the parent. That is, if you verified ownership of example.com using the HTML file upload method, any child properties that you create (m.example.com or https://example.com/some/slug) will be auto-verified using the same HTML file upload.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day!

Thanks Hein Veronica for your help. I'm still getting Ownership verification failed so I think I'm going to try again tomorrow to get my website verified. I'm currently stuck.... and it's very frustrating because I can't get a Gmail account for my business website until Google is able to verify the domain ownership.
Hey there Marsha,
This is just to verify your domain ownership on Google Search Console, so that Site Kit or whatever other Analytics plugin you are using on your website can be activated for your Analytics quicker.
1) Have you tried all the different verification methods inside Google Search Console?
2) Why do you want to use Gmail for your business email? We just use our email that we create directly from our website's Admin backoffice. You can create an email directly through SiteEmail on your left menu under Websites.
