Before listing at Google you have to verify our site on Google using Google
webmaster tools for site verification.

instructions. You will find how to verify your site from Google webmaster tools

Add your
site under add site button. There it will ask for which method you want to
choose. There are two methods on GWT for site verification
- HTML File Verification
1.

you will have the HTML file (that is generated by Google according to your
account information).
