Monkey OwlAdding and verifying a site in Google Search Console
Verification is the process of proving that you own the property that you claim to own. Google need to confirm ownership because once you are verified for a property; you have access to its Google Search data, and can affect its presence on Google Search.
If you’re new to Google Search Console, you’ll need to add and verify your site(s) before you can do anything else. Adding and verifying your site in Search Console proves to Google that you’re a site’s owner or other authorized user.
After all, Search Console provides you with all sorts of incredibly detailed information and insights about a site’s performance. Google doesn’t want to hand that kind of information over to anybody who asks for it.
