Step 3.2: Enter Your Domain
Enter your website's domain name without the protocol (http:// or https://). For example, enter example.com or blog.example.com.

Verifying ownership proves you have access to the website. We offer two simple verification methods:

- The file should be accessible at:
https://yourdomain.com/outreachist-verify.txt - Click "Verify Now" button
File location: /public_html/outreachist-verify.txt
File content: a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6 (your unique code)
Method 2: HTML Meta Tag
If you can't upload files but have access to your website's HTML, use this method:
Meta Tag Verification Steps:
- Copy the meta tag code provided on the verification page
- Open your website's homepage HTML file (usually index.html or header.php)
- Paste the meta tag inside the
<head>section - Save and publish the changes
- Click "Verify Now" button
<head>
<meta name="outreachist-verification" content="a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0">
<!-- Other meta tags... -->
