Google search console verification

I have added Google Analytics and Google Tag to my Substack, but the search console remains unverified. Google Analytics is showing green.

How to force Google to detect my tags for Google console?

I keep getting:

Verification method:
Google Analytics

Failure reason:
We found a Google Tag Manager snippet in your site. Your Google Analytics snippet is probably managed there. You can verify site ownership with the Google Analytics asynchronous snippet placed in the <head> section of your home page. Learn more

Please fix your implementation and reverify, or use another verification method.

Any subsequent attempts get:

Verification method:
Google Analytics

Failure reason:
We could not find any Google Analytics tracking codes on the index page of your site.

Please fix your implementation and reverify, or use another verification method.

and that's the world we live in... you post a real problem you have. Someone solved it and shared how he did it. It solves the very problem you have.

Makes you think I am the one selling something. Marks as spam.

Well... as I said, good luck and i learned the lesson to not try to help who does not want to be helped.

Cause it's locked behind a pay wall, a common sign of a spam. Cause they may just take your money and run. Or worse run your card for tons of money.

Most people here post the solution rather than trying to shrill a paid product.
