How to insert HTML code in header? If you are using WordPress, simply  install a plugin called "insert header and footer". After installing, activate it, find it and insert your HTML code in the "header" section and the plugin will automatically insert it for you, simple.
If you have a "Blogger" account. Go to your dashboard, click on Template >Edit template. One it opens, insert your code before
.Once you are done inserting your HTML tag in your site header. Go back to Google Apps for Work and click "verify". Done.
