Verify Your Site With Yandex

You can verify your site with the Yandex search engine to unlock additional features and a quicker indexing process on Yandex.

While most site verification tools will ask you to add a HTML tag or meta tag to your site’s header, we’ve simplified the process by providing specific tools for adding the required tag to your website.

From your dashboard, visit Tools → Marketing and select the Traffic tab to access the site verification tools.

In addition to the Yandex verification steps described in this guide, you can verify your site with Bing, Pinterest, Google, and Facebook.

To get started, log in to https://webmaster.yandex.com/. If you don’t yet have an account, you can create one on the login screen.

1. Click on “Go” to access the Yandex Sites list.
2. Click “Add Site” to add your site.

3. Enter your site address in the provided field, including the https:// , and click the “Add” button:

4. On the next screen, select the “Meta tag“ option and copy the entire meta tag that looks like

<meta name="yandex-verification" content="7d71f47e63543e" />

5. In a new browser tab or window, open your WordPress.com account and go to Tools → Marketing → Traffic (or Jetpack → Settings → Traffic if using WP-Admin).
6. Scroll down to the “Site Verification Services” section, and paste the code you copied from Yandex into the Yandex section.
7. Click “Save Settings“.

8. Go back to the Yandex verification page and click “Check“.
