I have always been struggling with all the coding and every time I need to verify my website somewhere (e.g. for a google tool, or when signing up for an affiliate program, etc.)

Now, I always look for the option 'add meta tag'

These usually look like this:

<meta name="verification example" content="1234567" />

I installed a plugin called Meta Tag Manager

After installing the plugin, you can find it under 'Settings' in your dashboard. When you open it, you click on 'Add Meta Tag'

You simply choose the tag type (here: name) and then fill in the values (this example: 'verification' for name & '1234567' for content). After you have done that, you simply click SAVE at the bottom and the meta tag is automatically created and added to your site)

And that's it. Afterwards, you can return to the site that wanted you to verify your page :)
