For those adding their domain to Google Search Console:
Google will ask you to verify that you own the domain, the preferred method to do this is via a DNS record. While you may or may not know what a DNS record is, don't be scared, it's very easy to do if you follow this guide.
Step #1:
Log into https://wpo.bigscoots.com/ and click the 'My Sites' tab on the left-hand side menu.
Step #2:
Now select the domain from the list you are trying to verify with Google, in this example, we will be using learn-wpo.com.
Step #3:
On the next page, you will have a new horizontal menu, from the new menu, select the DNS tab.
Now you may feel a bit overwhelmed with what you are about to see on the next screen but pay no attention, only focus on the fields at the top:
From here, 3 things need to happen.
Click the 'A' dropdown and change it to 'TXT'.
Simply put in a '@' in the Name field(@ indicates your domain name)
Use the 'COPY' button to copy the google-site-verification record from Google as shown below:
Once you are done filling in the fields, it will look similar to this:
Now click the Add Record button to the right.
Step #4:
You're just about there! In the very last step, click the Verify button back on Google:
If all goes well, you should be greeted with a verified message:
If for some reason you don't, please watch a few minutes and try again, the DNS record we added can take several minutes to a couple of hours to update.
