How to Add Google-site-verification to CloudFlare

Google-site-verification is a method of verifying your website with Google. It's used to prove that you own the domain and have the right to manage it. This verification is essential for accessing various Google services such as Google Search Console and improving your site's visibility in Google search results.

If you're looking to verify your website with Google using the Google-site-verification method, CloudFlare provides an easy and secure way to add the necessary TXT record to your domain. By following a few simple steps, you can ensure that your website is verified and recognized by Google.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add Google-site-verification to CloudFlare:

Start by visiting the CloudFlare website and signing in to your CloudFlare account. If you don't have an account yet, create one by signing up for CloudFlare's services.

Select Your Domain

Once you're logged in, you'll be directed to the CloudFlare dashboard. Select the domain for which you want to add the Google-site-verification code.

Access DNS Settings

To add the TXT record needed for verification, click on the "DNS" tab in the top navigation menu. This will take you to the DNS settings specifically for your selected domain.

Add a TXT Record

Scroll down to the "DNS Records" section and locate the "Add record" button. Click on it to add a new DNS record.

Customize the TXT Record

In the DNS record creation dialog, select "TXT" as the record type. In the "Name" field, enter @ to specify the root domain.

Paste the Verification Code

Next, in the "Content" field, paste the google-site-verification=xxxxxxx code provided by Google. Make sure to replace the xxxxxxx placeholder with your unique verification code.

Set the Time to Live (TTL)

The "TTL" or Time to Live is the amount of time it takes for DNS changes to propagate. By default, CloudFlare sets a TTL value, but you can adjust it if necessary.
