What is ownership verification?

Ownership verification means proving to Search Console that you own a specific website. A verified owner has the highest degree of permissions (opens in a new tab) in Search Console.

Why do I need to verify ownership?

Site owners in Search Console have access to sensitive Google Search information about a site. Site owners can also perform actions that can affect a site's presence and behavior on Google Search and other Google services. Because of this, we want to make sure that only a real site owner is granted owner permissions on Search Console.

Avada SEO Suite helps you to verify your store's ownership on popular web management tools such as Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Pinterest, Yandex Webmaster Tools, and Baidu Webmaster Tools.
