3.6.1. Confirm domain in Google Search Console

Using a DNS record

Attention!

  • The domain must be served on our NS. If the domain is served on third-party NS, actions need to be performed not with us, but in the panel of their owner.
  • When confirming a subdomain for which separate A and AAAA records have not been created, and a wildcard record is used, adding a TXT record will disrupt its operation. In such a situation, it is necessary to add A and AAAA records for this subdomain.

Automatic setup

Use presets from the group "Google → Google Search Console".

Manual setup

  1. Open Google Search Console and in the main menu, click "Add property".
  2. In the "Domain resource" section, specify the resource name and click "Continue":
    • To confirm the domain — domain name without www (for example, example.com).
    • To confirm the subdomain — full name of the subdomain (for example, sub.example.com).
  3. Click "Copy" next to the verification record.
  4. Open the domain settings and add a DNS record with the following data:
    • To confirm the domain:
      • "Subdomain" — empty.
      • "Type" — "TXT".
      • "Data" — copied test record.
    • To confirm the subdomain:
      • "Subdomain" — the name of the subdomain without the main domain (for example, sub).
      • "Type" — "TXT".
      • "Data" — copied test record.
  5. Wait for the DNS cache to refresh. This usually takes a few hours (maximum 24).
  6. Return to Google Search Console and click "Verify".

After confirmation, do not delete the added DNS record.

Using an HTML file

  1. Open Google Search Console and in the main menu, click "Add property".
  2. In the "Resource with prefix in URL" block, specify the name of the resource with protocol and click "Continue":
    • To confirm the domain — domain name without www (for example, https://example.com).
    • To confirm the subdomain — full name of the subdomain (for example, https://sub.example.com).
  3. Expand the "HTML file" block and download the verification file.
  4. Using the file manager or any FTP client, upload the verification file to the hosting in the root directory of the site.
  5. Return to Google Search Console and click "Verify".

After confirmation, do not delete the uploaded HTML file.
