# Verify with meta tag
How to verify domain ownership with a meta tag for Snyk API and Web
Verify domain ownership by adding a meta tag to your website's HTML.
This verification method is quick and straightforward for websites where you can modify the HTML source code.
## Get the meta tag
1. In Snyk API & Web, navigate to the **Targets** page.
2. Click the **Domains** tab.
3. Locate your domain and click **Verify**.
4. Select **Meta Tag** as the verification method.
5. Copy the **META TAG** content provided.
6. Keep the verification dialog open.
## Add the meta tag to your website
1. Access your website's source code.
2. Open the index page (typically `index.html` or your homepage template).
3. Locate the `` section.
4. Paste the meta tag before the closing `` tag:
```html
```
5. Save and deploy the changes to your live website.
## Complete verification
1. Confirm the meta tag is visible in your website's source code by viewing the page source in a browser.
2. Return to the verification dialog in Snyk API & Web.
3. Click **Verify**.
After successful verification, you can remove the meta tag if desired, though it is harmless to leave it in place.
## Troubleshooting
### Meta tag not found
If verification fails, check that:
* The meta tag is on the index/homepage of your domain
* The meta tag is inside the `` section
* There are no typos in the meta tag content
* The changes have been deployed to your live website (not just saved locally)
* Caching is not serving an old version of the page

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/configure-targets/verify-domain-ownership/verify-with-meta-tag.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
