**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
