Does google give any advantage to Webmaster tools verified sites?

Hello friends,
I am seeing a strange pattern. i register 2 new domain and make sites on them and add no backlinks nothing only put content and did on page seo right.
After 1month of google indexing. both sites are not showing in search for the targeted keywords, but as soon as i add them to Google Webmaster tools they both automatically comes to the 16th and 24th number for their specific keywords.
So my question is does Google give any advantage to sites which are verified and added into its webmaster tools in terms of seo or authority?

Hi Pervaiz. You raise a good question.
I say yes based on my experiences. I also dug up a 3 year old quote from Eric Schmidt @ Google regarding "information from verified online profiles":
“Within search results, information tied to verified online profiles will be ranked higher than content without such verification, which will result in most users naturally clicking on the top (verified) results. The true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance.” At the time this was tied to Google Authorship, but the underlying concept fits. I found this on Search Engine Watch.
Hope this helps!

Totally Agreed... webmaster tool (now search console) gives the functionality to tell google about your site updates instantly using Fetch facility in the tool, so you can index your site's new or updated content as well you can find the errors on your web pages like crawl errors, indexing errors, and more.
you can see the manual action as well if your site spreading spam on internet. and after fixing the issues you can send reconsideration request also. so, it is a big benefit for verified site in Google webmaster tool.
