Log into Pagecord and visit Settings > Blog Settings. On the form you'll see a new section called Google Site Verification. Paste in the code you copied in the previous step. Don't worry if you paste the full meta tag – Pagecord will spot this and do the extraction for you ✨
3. Complete verification
Once you've added the value to your blog, head on back to Google Search Console and click Verify. If all went well, you should get a confirmation and your property will be ready to go!
