 * Yes, I did. I wonder if its a problem with verification of I as an owner of the
   actual site. I´m working on that issue.

 * Did you add a key of your own, or did you let it generate by our system?
    In 
   the 1st case, please try to generate the key from within GeoDirectory. If that
   doesn’t work, we’ll probably need to have a look at your site backend and for
   that you should open a new topic in our open forum where we can send private 
   messages: _[removed link]_
 * Let us know,
 * Thanks

 * I had added a key generated by your system, but that was before my website was
   verified. I made a new one now, and I think it worked. So far so good 🙂
