But when I access my stats, I see a<br \/>\n  message asking me to verify again. Why is it asking me this since I already verified?<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n  That message is providing a link so you can verify at the root level. Rest assured that your site<br \/>\n  is still verified at the subdirectory level and you can access all information that we have<br \/>\n  available at this time for subdirectories (index stats, Sitemap details, and site errors).\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"i-verified-successfully-at-https:www.example.comsite.-but-i-can-still-see-the-verify-tab.-when-i-access-that-tab-and-click-verify,-i-get-a-message-that-google-couldnt-find-my-verification-file-and-that-my-site-isnt-verified.-the-original-verification-file-is-still-present-at-https:www.example.comsite,-so-why-am-i-getting-this-message\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n  I verified successfully at https:\/\/www.example.com\/site\/.

When you are already verified at the<br \/>\n  subdirectory level, we look for the verification file in the root of the domain when you try to<br \/>\n  verify again. You&#8217;ll see an error message if we don&#8217;t find it there.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"i-cant-verify-at-the-root.-will-this-affect-my-listings-in-google\" tabindex=\"-1\">I can&#8217;t verify at the root. Will this affect my listings in Google?<\/h2>\n<p>\n  No. Verification at the root lets you see a greater variety of statistics for your site. It does<br \/>\n  not affect how we use your Sitemap, how we crawl your site, your PageRank, or any other factor.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-previous-version-let-me-verify-at-the-subdirectory-level.-why-did-you-change-it-in-this-version\" tabindex=\"-1\">A previous version let me verify at the subdirectory level.
