Verify Site Ownership for Google
To verify that you are the owner of a site, Google requests that you add a specific meta tag to your site or deploy a file with a specific name to your web server's root directory. Though this topic refers specifically to Google, other search engines have similar procedures.
To add the meta tag to your site, you must create a custom site
preference for the Google tag and then include the tag in your storefront. Google uses the
name google-site-verification for the meta-tag used for site verification.
The htmlhead.isml template in SiteGenesis uses this name for Google site
verification with the storefront.
/templates/default/content/home.
SiteGenesis Application Example
To render your generated Google meta tag on the
pt_storefront-template in the SiteGenesis application:
- Select .
- On the Custom Site Preferences page, enter the
GoogleVerificationTag - Content Attribute, which is an attribute of theSitePreferencessystem object. - Ensure that the following code exists in your
htmlhead.ismltemplate:
<!--- Insert meta tag for the
"Google-Verification" feature to verify that you are the owner of this
site. --->
<isif
condition="${'GoogleVerificationTag' in
dw.system.Site.current.preferences.custom &&
dw.system.Site.current.preferences.custom.GoogleVerificationTag!=''}
">
<meta name="verify-v1"
content="<isprint
value="${dw.system.Site.current.preferences.custom.GoogleVerificationTag}"/>"
/>
</isif>
