    Option 1: upload the key file

    Upload the file to the root of your site so that it opens at https://yoursite.com/KEY.txt. On WordPress hosting this is usually the public_html folder.

    Option 2: add a DNS record

    Or add a TXT record to the root of your domain with the value shown in Searvia (searvia-site-verification=KEY). DNS changes can take a few minutes.
