Today I saw this in Google Search Console:



enter image description here



This clearly says the Google Analytics verification failed. But we have all the info, charts, real online users, etc... in the Google Analytics panel. So what might be the cause of that error?



Also, we've added Google Analytics inside Google Tag manager and put that script inside the head of our website:



enter image description here



Any idea of what might be the source of this error?

          Yes, it failed verification as a means of verifying site ownership in Google Search Console.
          This does not mean the GA tracking is not installed and working, just that the current method of installation, cant be used to verify site ownership.



          If GA is setup via tags in GTM, then GA cannot be used for verification. it needs to be the GA tracking code snippet installed in the site between the <head></head> tags.



          You can use GTM container to verify Google Search Console site ownership instead.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
