Hi,
I wanted to add several URLs for my website. I’ve added ownsership from my Google API email address, so the link can be made with Rank Math. Unfortunately, I always get an error message regarding the ownership. (see attached link). How can I do ?

Emmanuel

Hello Ike,
My sqervice account is well listed in the Google search Console.
I’ll try to clear caches (browser and my website).
I’ll get right back to you.
And if it works, I’ll close the ticket
If not, I’ll tell you.
Have a nice day

Hi,
I’ve found the problem.
In the Google Search Console, I had to put a new user “as a new owner”. I was adding a new user with full rights. So I changed the type of permissions and now it works.
Thanks Ike for your help.
Good evening!
Emmanuel
