If your web application is connected to a Google Analytics account, you can use Google Analytics to verify ownership of your domain.
1. Select "Other ways to verify your domain"
The onboarding wizard will present you with a list of verification options. To verify with Google Analytics, select the “Google Analytics” option.
After selecting Google Analytics as a verification method, you will be asked to confirm your choice by clicking on “Verify with Google Analytics”.
You can then log in to your Google account or, if you are already logged in, allow Detectify to access it.
You will be asked to allow Detectify to access your GA data.
You will be presented with a list of all domains associated with your Google Analytics account. Select the domain you would like to add to your Detectify account.
You’re now all set and ready to start your first test. Happy scanning!
Google Analytics code is hidden in call back or missing from the root of the domain you added. If this is the case, consider using another method to verify or contact us at verification@detectify.com.
A small difference between the domain you entered manually and the domain registered in Google Analytics can cause your verification to fail. Make sure to double-check the spelling and format (e.g. with or without subdomains) of the domain you added to your Detectify account.
Verification can fail if you are using Google Tag Manager or another Google product to connect your site to Analytics. If this is the reason verification has failed, try using another method to verify.
Why do you require verification of domain ownership?
