 * Hi,
 * I’ve just set up a new website with the Generate Press free theme.
 * I need to add Google Analytics tracking code, and Google Search Console verification
   code.
 * Can someone please tell me how and where I can do this in a simple way?
 * Cheers

 * Thank you to you both.
 * From what I can see – that mentions the Google Analytics function –
 * add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘tu_add_analytics’ );
    function tu_add_analytics() { ?
   > Your GA code in here <?php }
 * What does the function look like for Google Search Console?

 * Also another question, if I am using Code Snippets plugin, how exactly do you
   add a new snippet?
 * With Google Search Console as an example, would I name the snippet “Google Search
   Console Verification”, then just put the function (like the GA function code 
   above) in the code section and click save changes?

 * It should be in `wp_head` as well.
 * Can you copy and paste the code here?
 * Did Google provide instruction on where to insert it?
