Google verification

Website Building
#1

Good day. Can someone help me to verify my website with GOOGLE.
They say I have to: Add the TXT record below to the DNS configuration for mywebsite: google-site-verification=woAxexovECSGbEtGzEsKp50MdjTg4VvKk6C3uCUmBJY
Do I just upload this as a text file to my website directory?
Where do I upload it?

How?
Thanks

Upload it where your index page at.

No, that’s not how it works

Dewaal, do you have your own domain or do you use one of 000webhost’s subdomains? If the former, go to the DNS settings of the domain registrar and add the verification code as a TXT record. If you’re using a 000webhost subdomain, I’m afraid you cannot do this.

Just try to add the google meta content verification method in index file before the closing of </head> tag rather than adding TXT method. It’s the easy method.

You Use Alternate Methods For Verification Too… :slight_smile:

Hi Dewaal, any luck on this yet? Would be nice if you can share the steps if you were able to get through this.

Yes, i agree to this.

#12

you need to upload files through FPT and verify you are the owner of your website. I use the theme genesis and easy verify.

#13

Try to upload .HTML on root folder, and verify by checking the URL path of that file.

Here corrected answer
Try to upload the file via FTP Manager or Filezilla. After that verify your url

#14

You can choose other option when verification.
I usually choose option, upload file .html from google to root dir web
