Hello friends,

What is Google Webmaster verification?

Hi Friends,
Essentially, Google site verification is about proving that you actually own the site you're trying to add. Google doesn't want to give those powers above to just anyone, so Google requires webmasters to complete the Google Search Console verification process before they can manage their sites.

It's simply verifying your site's ownership. Find more about this at https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en

Hello Friends,

Verification is the process of proving that you own the property that you claim to own. We need to confirm ownership because once you are verified for a property, you have access to its Google Search data, and can affect its presence on Google Search. Every Search Console property requires at least one verified owner.

It means that Google verifies your domain in their webmaster tool and provide information about various statistic about your website.
