Google Site Verification

To use Google Site Verification, add the following line:

[params]
googleSiteVerify = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"

Replace the hash with the one Google provided you.

Robots.txt

If you want Hugo to generate a robots.txt, you will have to set the enableRobotsTXT in the config.toml to true. By default, a robots.txt, which allows search engine crawlers to access to any page, will be generated. It will look like this:

User-agent: *

If certain sites should be excluded from being accessed, you might want to set up a custom robots.txt file within your static folder of your site.
