A plain-language explanation
A Google verification code is a token or tag used to confirm that a user has the authority to manage a domain, page or business profile.
Where it helps in practice
A verification code proves control of a domain or service and may live in DNS, a file, HTML tag or linked account.
The decision before implementation
Choose a method that survives theme and deployment changes and document its owner.
How to verify the result
After DNS or template changes, confirm verification remains valid and remove obsolete third-party access.
