📋 Overview
Publication.Media is a content distribution network integrated with Search Atlas. To start publishing through this channel, you must complete a short onboarding process and verify ownership of your websites using a metatag. This article explains what to prepare when contacting the support team to get your account created and your sites verified.
🚀 Step 1: Start the Onboarding Process
To begin, you will need to request access to Publication.Media through Search Atlas. Here is what to prepare before reaching out:
- Your Search Atlas account login credentials.
- The name and URL of each website you want to register with Publication.Media.
- Your company name and any additional account details that may be required during sign-up.
If the Publication.Media onboarding option is not visible in your account, or if you are unsure how to proceed, contact the support team directly (see below) so they can guide you to the correct location or initiate the process on your behalf.
🏷️ Step 2: Retrieve Your Metatag
After your Publication.Media account is created, you will be issued a unique metatag for each website you registered. This tag proves you own or manage the site and must be added before you can publish content.
If you cannot locate your metatag or your account setup is still pending, reach out to the support team with your registered website URLs so they can confirm the status and provide your verification code directly.
🛠️ Step 3: Add the Metatag to Your Website
The metatag must be placed inside the <head> section of your website's HTML — on every page, or at minimum the homepage. The exact method for inserting code into the <head> section will depend on your platform or CMS. Refer to your platform's official documentation for instructions on adding custom code to the site-wide header.
After saving, the tag should be publicly accessible on your site. Do not remove it — Publication.Media may re-check verification at any time.
⚠️ If Verification Fails or You Need Help
If you have added the metatag but verification is still failing, or if you are unable to locate any part of the onboarding flow, please have the following ready when you contact support:
- Your Search Atlas account email.
- The exact URLs of the websites you are trying to verify.
- A description of where you are in the onboarding process and any error messages you have seen.
