  Hi there
  What site are you referring to? http://localentrepreneur.wordpress.com/ is looking untouched in the time it has been here. If you have a different site hosted here at WordPress.com, please tell us what it is so we may better help you.

  If you are referring to a different site hosted here at WordPress.Com, these instructions will help you:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#google-search-console

  If you are referring to a site hosted somewhere other than WordPress.Com, your question is better asked at
  https://wordpress.org/support/

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ explains many of the differences between sites hosted at WordPress.Com and those hosted elsewhere
  https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com is a more who is who explanation.

  best,
  dave

  Hi Dave, it is actually a different site – millennialwealth.co.uk and it is hosted via bluehost. Would you be able to help with this? Thanks

  Hello @aaronling2,
  You need a custom domain like example.com to be to verify your site with Google, because you cannot access and edit DNS records of the default free subdomain like example.wordpress.com.

  Docs related to registering a domain on wordpress here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/
  https://wordpress.com/domains/

  You can find all your domains on you Domain Manager page:
  https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/

  Hope this helps 🙂

  @aaronling2
  Ahhh… the site(http://www.millennialwealth.co.uk/) is using WordPress.ORG, and is hosted on BlueHost.

  So i am sorry… but you have posted your issue in the wrong forum. This forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM and not elsewhere.

  Both(WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG) are different products. You can find out the differences between them here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  To get help in resolving your issue, post your question on the WordPress.ORG support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/
