Google Webmaster - how do I verify my site?

Google Webmaster is a super handy tool for anyone with a website!

It will provide you with resources to help you learn more about the crawling and indexing of your website pages and let you know how your site is performing in the search results. You can also tell Google about the pages on your site by submitting a sitemap.

To verify your site with Google Webmaster you need to use the meta tag option. It is very important that you copy the correct portion of the tag in order to be successful. Copy only the letter/number string between the quotation marks and paste it in the designated field in the "Properties" sidebar.

For detailed, step-by-step, instructions on how to verify your site with Google Webmaster and also submit a sitemap, please see our Google Webmaster Tutorial. Please use our instructions and not Google's. Google's are written on the assumption that you are coding the website from scratch. Our instructions are written to work specifically with Yola.
