titleStep 3: Verifying ownership for Dealer Spike clients

(blue star) and (blue star) use different methods of verification. After clicking continue you’ll be presented with different options to verify your ownership of this site. The predetermined option is HTML file verification and that’s the one used for (blue star) verification.

(blue star) Dealer Spike verification:

  • To be able to do GSC verification in (blue star) you need access to the FTP server for Dealer Spike websites with the NppFTP plugin for Notepad++.

  • Log in to your FTP profile and open the Websites folder in the FTP options, there you’ll find folders with the domains of all (blue star) dealers. Locate the one with the domain of the dealer you’re setting up and upload the verification file provided.
