# Adding verification code between tags

 * I am trying to sign up for Google’s G Suite, and they are having trouble verifying
   my domain. (I think because my main domain redirects to …/news.) One of the alternate
   verification methods they offer is to place a meta tag in my head tags:
 * “Copy and paste this meta tag between the <head> and </head> tags in the HTML
   file you’ve opened. Don’t worry, visitors of your website won’t see this. It’s
   just a quick check to make sure you own your domain. Here’s an example of what
   it may look like after adding the meta tag:
 * <html>
    <head> <meta name=”google-site-verification” content=”ukiZkluFW_O8Ud_rtYJraT_kuBSrPGmz7294i8jC248″/
   > <title>My title</title> </head> <body> page contents </body> </html>
 * Where do I access the <head> </head> tags in Generate Press? I’m not an experienced
   coder, but I think I can copy/paste that meta tag in the right place if I know
   where to access it.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-verification-code-between-tags%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * The `wp_head` hook would be what you need:

 * Thanks Leo, I think I’m a little out of my depth when it comes to hooks, so I
   installed the Head, Footer, and Post Injections plugin and used that to input
   the Meta Tag that Google needed for verification.
 * Thanks for the links though.

 * Glad you’ve figured out.
 * I would also mention that GP Premium’s element module would make this a lot easier
   🙂
