How to verify your domain in Google Search Console
Google Search Console shows how your site appears in Google Search: which queries bring visitors, which pages are indexed, and any errors to fix.
Domain property verification (recommended)
A domain property covers all versions of your site (with and without www, http and https, and subdomains).
- Go to Google Search Console and choose Add property → Domain.
- Enter your domain without https or www, for example
vexlari.tech. - Google gives you a TXT record.
- Add the TXT record in your domain's DNS settings, wherever your DNS is managed.
- Return to Search Console and click Verify. DNS changes can take time to propagate; if it fails, try again later.
First things to do after verifying
- Submit your sitemap, usually at
/sitemap.xml. - Check Pages for indexing issues.
- Check Core Web Vitals and HTTPS reports.
- Add team members with the right permission level.
Check weekly
- Performance: queries, clicks, impressions and average position.
- New indexing issues or manual actions.
Search Console data is the most direct way to see which topics bring organic leads, and which pages to improve next.
