Overview

To verify your domain in Google Search Console, you’ll need to add a meta tag to the Default Page connected to your PXME domain. This process confirms domain ownership, allowing Google to index your site and provide valuable search data.

Step 1: Determine the Default Page

1. Navigate to Settings > Domains

2. Select the domain you want to verify

3. Click Edit to see which Default Page is connected to that domain

4. Go to Sites > Funnels/Websites and open the builder for the Default Page

5. Click the SEO Meta Data icon at the top of the builder

Step 2: Add the Google Verification Meta Tag

1. In the SEO Meta Data panel, go to Links & Tags

2. Select Add Custom Meta Tag

3. Copy the details from the verification tag provided by Google

Example:

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="examplenumer11223344" />

4. Enter the details in PXME:

   • Name: google-site-verification

   • Content: examplenumer11223344

5. Save the meta tag

6. Update the data and Save the page

Once saved, your domain should successfully verify in Google Search Console.

Common Use Cases for Meta Tags

<meta name="description" content="This is a brief description of the page's content.">
