In addition to the custom Code Block that allows you to add custom coded content for a variety of reasons, you can also add custom code to your website's <head> tag when needed. Some custom code may require you to add a portion of the code to your website's <head> tag, for example verification of your website to use with Google Search Console does require a verification code be placed in your site's <head> tag.

Example Use Cases For Adding Custom Code to the <head> Tag

Google Search Console Verification

The Google Search Console, previously known as Google Webmaster Tools, helps you measure your site's Search traffic and performance, as well as detecting possible issues with the site that could impact search-ability.

To get started with Google Search Console, for those that have never used it before, go to https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome and create a URL Prefix property by entering in your full website URL including https:// at the beginning. (i.e. https://yourwebsite.zenofliosite.com or https://www.yourwebsite.com)

  1. After creating your property, you'll be provided with options of verifying ownership. Choose the HTML Tag option.
  2. Copy the Meta tag provided and paste it into the custom <head> tag area of your Zenfolio website, as described above.
  3. Once your code has been added to your website, and you've Published the site, return to the same Search Console verification page and click on the Verify button specifically for the HTML Tag option.
