      We have a group of automotive dealerships by a website provider that causes issues when trying to verify our sites.

      Because they use Analytics for their data program, they install a code into our websites-stopping us from doing so properly in our back end. We also cannot verify ourselves in webmasters or adwords. We can't actually "own" any of our sites since they run a java query script from within the website. They also do not allow the use of iframes or scripts, so we can't even use the container to verify these sites.

      Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated as I am sure there is some way to break this to get our data and be verified.

        This isn't going to be very helpful for your immediate issue, but you need to move the site away from the current website provider. Having a successful website is going to require the ability to have total control over it when you want it. It doesn't have to be expensive, but you need to have the ability to do the things you want to do.

          Yes it is awful. Hopefully we can switch one day, it's not my decision. But thanks, I agree wholeheartedly!
