Are we aware that one of the technical aspects we have to do is the verification of our websites?

This is what Google Search Console advises us:

Verify site ownership on Google Search Console

Verification is the process of proving that you own the site that you claim to own. We need to confirm ownership because once you are verified for a site, then you have access to its private Google Search data, and can affect how Google Search crawls the site.

Complete information about site verification is available in the Google Search Console help center.

What are the verification methods?

1. HTML file upload--upload an HTML file to your site
2. HTML tag--add meta tag to your site's homepage
3. Google Tag Manager--use your Google Tag Manager Account
4. Name Domain Provider--sing in to your domain name provider
5. Google Analytics--use your Google Analytics Account

Thank fully I was able to verify my sites in the four methods but I have to discover yet how to do the last one, HTML file upload.

Through this I'm confident search engines now know that I own the sites verified and all the benefits therein, the punishment to be meted out are all for me. They know this is my business and all the revenue outsourced through affiliate links shall be accorded to me whether it be from different sources including Wealthy Affiliate.

Verify your sites!

Question ... Do we need to verify our site using all methods?
Surely verifying it with just one will do the job and the options you show above are just that options.

Verifying with more than one method will make your ownership more resilient.
