To verify your site with Google Webmaster tools (now Webmaster Central), choose the "Meta tag" verification method, and copy the meta tag that Google provides you with. You can find this option under the 'Alternate methods' tab. Click on the 'Add a meta tag to your site's home page' option.
When you click on the meta tag option, you will see a verification tag that looks something like this
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="DxdtZ0dedtoie6fstevwvliZ4nTSiQULQgPq58sSfrk" />
You will need to copy this meta tag into the "Theme.liquid" file as described below.
Log in to your Spiffy Toolbox, and go to the "Theme editor" section.
In the theme editor, click on the "Theme.liquid" file to edit it.
Paste the meta tag that Google provided you with immediately after the <head> tag, and then click the save button.
Back in Google's Webmaster tools, click the "Verify" button, and your site should verify properly.
Verifying your site in Bing
The process for verifying your site in Bing is much the same as it is with Google. Bing also has an option to add a meta tag to your site's home page, and you copy the meta tag and paste it right after the meta tag for Google in your Theme.liquid file.
