How to verify your site in Google AdSense

Couldn’t verify your site We couldn’t verify your site. Make sure the changes you made to your site are published and accessible by the Google AdSense crawler. If you’re still having issues try another method….

If you’re having trouble verifying your site for Google AdSense, here are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:

1. Ensure Your Website Is Published and Accessible

✅ Check if your website is live and publicly accessible (not under construction or restricted).
✅ Open your website in an incognito window and verify that it loads properly.
✅ Ensure your robots.txt file isn’t blocking Google crawlers. Add this line to allow AdSense:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google  
Disallow:

✅ Check your domain ownership via Google Search Console.

2. Use the Correct AdSense Verification Code

  • Google AdSense provides a meta tag for verification. Ensure it’s placed correctly inside the <head> section of your homepage:
    <meta name="google-adsense-account" content="your-publisher-id">
  • If using WordPress, insert this code inside the header.php file or use a plugin like Insert Headers and Footers.
  • If using Blogger, go to Theme > Edit HTML and add the code inside <head>.

3. Use Alternate Verification Methods

If the meta tag method fails, try these alternatives:
✅ HTML File Upload

  • Download the Google-provided HTML file and upload it to your root directory via FTP or File Manager.
    ✅ DNS Record Verification
  • Add a TXT or CNAME record to your domain’s DNS settings via your hosting provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).

4. Check for Conflicting Plugins or Themes (For WordPress Users)

  • Some security or caching plugins might block AdSense verification.
  • Temporarily disable plugins like WP Rocket, Cloudflare, or security plugins, then try verifying again.
  • If using Cloudflare, disable “Under Attack Mode” and ensure “Bot Fight Mode” isn’t blocking AdSense.

5. Wait for Google to Crawl Your Site

  • After making changes, wait up to 48 hours for Google to crawl and verify your site.
  • Use Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool to manually request indexing.

6. Contact Google AdSense Support

If the issue persists:
📌 Go to Google AdSense Help Center
📌 Use the “Get Help” option to submit a ticket for manual review.

⚠️ Possible Issues:

  1. Check If Your Website Is Indexed
    • Go to Google and search:makefileCopyEditsite:kosmosglobalschool.com
    • If your pages show up in Google search results, your site is indexed and working fine.
    • If nothing appears, Google may not have indexed your site yet.
  2. Test Your robots.txt File
    • Use Google Search Console → “Robots.txt Tester” to confirm Google can access your pages.

    • Open https://abcdefgh.com/sitemap.xml in a browser.
    • If it loads correctly and lists all pages, it’s fine.
    • If it shows an error, regenerate your sitemap using Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or Google XML Sitemaps plugin (if using WordPress).
