Connection tot Google Serach Console

Hi,

Please use the codeless container placement option and try again the Search Console verification. Please make sure that you have admin access to the GTM account as well.

Hi,

Yes this was very helpfull.
Thanks for your answer.

Greetings,

Astrid

I’m having the same issue, as well as difficulty verifying with tag manager via the console (due to my email for some reason). Someone said I should download your plugin, but what if I already manually installed the container snippets?

I also inserted the code for analytics and GTM is headers and footers and double pageviews are being fired.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

First of all: if you have Google Analytics tags inside your Google Tag Manager container, you need to remove the Analytics code from your website that was added directly.

Second: you do not need my plugin just to be able to verify your site in Search Console. If you have added the GTM container code manually to your site, all you need to ensure is the the so called noscript part of the container code is added directly just after the opening body tag. It must not be included elsewhere nor surrounded by any other HTML elements like a div or span element.
There is a second requirement: the Google account you are using to access Search Console must have admin access to the GTM container as well.

Hello, and thanks so much for taking the time to respond.

I did add the GTM code manually using ‘headers and footers1 and believe it’s correct
(script part in header and no-script part in footer, above the body section).

However, I recently added the analytics code as well, and have a tag for universal analytics tag on all pages so will remove that code straight away. I’m seeing pages with two interaction hits firing, could this be why?

As for the email, I am the admin and have access, any idea how to resolve that (perhaps because it’s a yahoo account connected to my google account and not from the domain itself). I set everything up for my boss and just got a work email yesterday. Is there any way I can switch over to that, add user with it (me), or something?

It’s the tracking code that’s unauthorised with email apparently.

I appreciate your help more than you know!

Also, I have full view permissions in GA but tag assistant says I don’t (email)

also that it’s been installed incorrectly. I’ve done everything I can for troubleshoting.

(script part in header and no-script part in footer, above the body section).

This is wrong, the no-script part must not be added to the footer, it must be added to the opening body tag just after the header element. If your plugin does not support adding codes next to the opening body tag, you will not be able to verify your site in Search Console using the GTM snippet testing.
