Where put Google meta tags

Here’s snippet for Google Analytics. Adapt it to your need.

The verification details can be posted in the WordPress SEO plugin.

I have the seo plug-in and now see a link called Google verification under settings. I got the cod from webmaster tools, inserted and saved changes.
What now?
Been back to web tools and its still asking me to verify site. Confused.

Hmm. Check out method 2 in this video. It uses FTP. I think that’s the way I originally did mine.

And of course, just because you put it in the Yoast field, Google still has to come and crawl the site to find it, which could take a few days. I bet that it will eventually work through Yoast, but the FTP method in the video may be faster.

Depending on your domain registrar you can also verify this way. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/176792
