How do I verify my site with Google Webmaster Tools?

When you add your domain to Google Webmaster Tools, Google first needs to verify you as the domain owner. This is to ensure they are giving you analytical information properly for your proper domain.

This article will assist you with verifying your site with Google.

Google Webmaster Tools

  1. Sign into Google Webmaster Tools, (or create an account if you do not have one already.)
  2. Click "Add Site" and enter your domain or 3dcartstores address in the box
  3. Click Continue

You will now be taken to the "Verify Your Site" page. This is where you will be able to select the verification method to use. Google gives you three options, but the most common is Meta tag - which we will be concentrating on here. With the Meta tag method, Google will provide you with a code that will need to be placed on your site's main header. When you verify the site with Google, they will look at the site and reference this specific coding to complete the process.

  1. Choose your verification method by selecting Add a meta tag from the drop down box.
  2. Copy the code provided. Make sure that you select and copy everything in the box:

Adding the code to your Power-eCommerce store

Now perform the following:

  1. Log into your Power-eCommerce Admin
  2. Go to Settings --> Tracking and Conversion Scripts
  3. On the left hand side of the page, look for and click on the "Header Scripts"
  4. Add your code here (be sure not to remove any existing content you have already placed here in the past).
  5. Now Save Changes
  6. Go back to Google and verify your site.
