🎯 Why This Happened

Root Cause

The initial verification code (googleff0d734753b20703) was used as a placeholder/example. When you created the property in Google Search Console, Google generated a different unique code (Apib7-x98H0j5cPqHWwSMm6dNU4GmODRoqxLiDzdx9I) for your specific property.

The Fix

We now use the correct code from Google Search Console that matches your property.
