I know it’s possible to use RapidWeaver to upload assets via the Resources folder but is it possible to upload directly to the root level of the server folder?
I’ve downloaded a submit file from the Google Search Console and this needs to be located in the root level and the only I can see to add this is to do it manually.
I guess the question needs to be asked, “Does this Google feature make any difference to the SEO of a site” or has this effectively been replaced with site content?
What this meta tag or HTML page does is establish that you are the owner or agent of the URL. This allows you to access the search console (a valuable tool) for this URL.
You can check backlinks, submit sitemaps test robot.txt files, check internal links, stats and more.
As far as helping your SEO ranking I don’t think having it or not will make a difference, but using the tools and making adjustments will.
You sure can FTP the HTML file. He was asking if there was a way to do it within RW. The meta tag in the head section of the home page is the easiest way.
