Ownership verification failed

Hello,
I tried to add my forum to Google search engine using HTML meta tag but I got an error although I added it in the right way.
Thanks in advance.

Hey @MaiShaaban,

Remove the HTML tag and go to Adminstration Panel > General > Statistics > Google Analytics and add the account code!
Read more: Analyze your forum traffic with Google Analytics.

I added the tracking code successfully, but It is for analysis only not for adding my forum in Google search engines, am I right?

Now do this: https://help.forumotion.com/p1008045-optimize-your-forum-referencing-with-google-sitemaps

Should I wait for some time until it becomes verified?

It can take time for Google to send their bot over to index the forum, but such should happen automatically.

Are you sure that you added the meta tags correctly?

I got this message "You are a verified owner" but only using Google Analytics method
Any more steps or I am done with adding my forum to Google?

Is a bug by Google, see: https://help.forumotion.com/t158838-forum-sitemap#1105374

It still says " Couldn't fetch" after adding one more backslash "https://arcode.ahlamontada.com//sitemap.xml"

Have you tied getting help from Google?

In normal, how much time Google takes to adds the website? I submitted two days ago and still the same error, should I ask Google's support team?

That is what I was asking you about.

Is there any link that can help me contact Google support team because I searched but no useful results. Thanks
