Verifying Your Domain in Google Search Console Using a TXT Record

Introduction

To begin using Google Search Console, you must first confirm ownership of your domain. This verification process ensures that you have the rights to the domain you wish to manage in Search Console. This guide outlines the steps to verify your domain using a TXT record, which can be easily created through the VergeCloud User Panel.

Steps to Verify Your Domain in Google Search Console Using TXT Record

  1. Access Google Search Console: Start by visiting the main page of Google Search Console. Log into your account using your Gmail credentials.
  2. Select Domain Type: Once logged in, you will see a page similar to the one depicted below. If you choose the URL prefix, you can manage a subdomain. Selecting Domain allows you to oversee all associated addresses and subdomains within this Search Console account.
  3. Enter Your Domain: Depending on your requirements, input the desired address in one of the two sections shown and click Next. The Search Console will then generate the TXT record for the specified domain or subdomain. Copy this record using the provided Copy option.
  4. Navigate to VergeCloud: Now, access the VergeCloud User Panel by visiting https://panel.vergecloud.com. Ensure that the domain you are configuring is active in your account. Go to the CDN section, select the appropriate domain (e.g., vergecloud.site), and then choose “DNS Records” from the menu on the right.
  5. Create the TXT Record: In the DNS records creation section, set the record type to TXT. Use the @ symbol for the name and paste the TXT record you copied from Google Search Console into the Value field.
  6. Wait for Propagation: It may take some time for the TXT record to take effect after registration. To confirm its application, return to the Search Console and click the Verify button. Once the record has been successfully applied, you will receive a message indicating that your domain ownership has been verified in Google Search Console.
