Step 4. The generated code is divided into two parts as marked below
Copy the yellow marked area as in the above image and edit your site HTML or theme and put the code just above closing of the </head> tag. If you are using WordPress then edit your theme’s header.php file and add the code just above closing of </head> tag.
