A meta tag for your Google site verification needs to be added to the ‘Default Page’ which is connected to the domain.

Step 1: Determine the Default Page

Navigate to Settings > Domains.

Click to edit a domain so you can see which default page it is connected to.

Navigate to Sites and go to the page builder for the default page connected to the domain, and open Settings > SEO Meta Deta.

Step 2: Add a new Custom Meta Tag in the SEO Meta Data

Copy the name from within the meta tag and add it to the name field.
- In this example, the tag is <meta name="google-site-verification" content="examplenumer11223344" /> - so I will add the name: google-site-verification
Copy the content "examplenumer11223344" and add it to the content field

Save the tag, and then update metadata
Save the page

Your domain should now get verified successfully on the Google Search Console.
