  Hi Tito,

  Did you perhaps only recently launch your site? If so, it can take several weeks before your site will start appearing in search engines.

  When verifying your site in Google Search console, make sure to leave the Search Console browser tab open while you add the verification code to your site.

  In a separate browser tab, add the code to your site and save. Then give it a couple minutes before going to the open Search Console tab and completing the verification process.

  Let us know if you run into any further trouble with this.
