## Introduction

Verifies ownership of the site with Google.

Wix places the verification token for the requested method and asks Google
to confirm it. For Wix sites the `META` method is the common choice: Wix
adds the `google-site-verification` meta tag to every page automatically.

Verification requires a connected Google account and runs synchronously
against Google, so allow up to a minute for the call to return.

Requires the site to be published, have a connected domain, and allow
search-engine indexing; otherwise fails with `FAILED_PRECONDITION`.

### verifySite (self-hosted)
Self-hosted SDK calls require you to [create a client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/work-with-the-sdk/about-the-wix-client.md).

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { siteReadiness } from '@wix/gsc';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { siteReadiness },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function verifySite(options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.siteReadiness.verifySite(options);
};
```
