Google Site Verification with HTML File Upload through elementor pro wordpress -

To verify your WordPress website built with Elementor Pro using Google Site Verification via HTML file upload, follow these steps:

⚠️ Note:

Elementor Pro does not directly handle HTML file uploads for site verification. You’ll need to use your WordPress hosting control panel (like cPanel, Plesk, or an FTP client like FileZilla) to upload the file to the root directory of your website.

✅ Step-by-Step: Google Site Verification via HTML File Upload

1. Get the HTML Verification File from Google

Go to Google Search Console.
Click “Add Property”, enter your website URL (use the full domain, e.g., https://yourdomain.com).
Select the “HTML file upload” verification method.
Click Download to get the HTML file (googlexxxxxx.html).

2. Upload the HTML File to Your Website Root Directory

Option A: Use cPanel (or hosting file manager)

Log in to your hosting control panel.
Go to File Manager.
Navigate to the public_html folder or your site’s root directory.
Upload the HTML file you downloaded from Google.

Option B: Use FTP (e.g., FileZilla)

Connect to your server using FTP credentials.
Navigate to the root directory of your domain (typically public_html).
Upload the HTML file.

3. Verify the Upload

Visit the uploaded file URL in your browser:
https://yourdomain.com/googlexxxxxx.html
You should see a blank page with a verification string. If so, you’re good.

4. Complete Verification in Google Search Console

Go back to Google Search Console.
Click “Verify”.
If successful, Google will confirm ownership.

📝 Bonus Tip for Elementor Pro Users:

Even though this method bypasses Elementor itself, once verified, you can then access your site analytics and indexing tools within Search Console and use that data for SEO optimization, content planning, and performance enhancements.

Let me know if you’d prefer to use a different method like inserting a meta tag in Elementor or using a plugin like “Insert Headers and Footers” instead.
