Still Not Working?

Common mistakes:

• Forgot to deploy? Changes only take effect after you publish your site

• Wrong key? Double-check you copied the full key without extra spaces

• Cache issues? Clear your browser cache and try verification again

• Wrong stage? Make sure you're using the prompt from the correct section (Setup vs. SEO)

Verify your manifest file:

Visit https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/lovalingo.json in your browser to confirm:

• The file exists and loads properly

• The publicAnonKey matches what's shown in your dashboard
