Build Log: Analytics and Ads Verification Kit

A build note for checking whether analytics, ads, sitemap, and public verification files are wired correctly.

Jun 21, 2026

Build Goal

Many static sites need small verification files and tags: analytics, ads, Search Console, sitemap, robots, and sometimes consent messaging. The first build should confirm whether those pieces are present and reachable.

Scope

Start with checks that are safe from the outside.

  1. Read HTML and verify expected script IDs.
  2. Fetch ads.txt, robots.txt, and sitemap files.
  3. Detect blocked inline scripts from CSP.
  4. Report missing or conflicting verification signals.

Implementation Notes

The output should separate “not found” from “found but blocked.” Those two states lead to different fixes.

Risk

Vendor dashboards change wording often, so the product should rely on observable site behavior rather than copying dashboard labels.

Next Step

Write a fixture set with one correct site and three broken examples, then make the checker explain the difference.
