# Add google-site-verification TXT record to domain

<Tip>The same idea applies to **Facebook Business Manager** verification (`facebook-domain-verification`).</Tip>

Sometimes you must **verify domain ownership** at Google (Search Console, Google Workspace, and similar) by publishing a **TXT** record, for example:

```text theme={null}
google-site-verification=<random_characters>
```

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Domains">
    Go to **Domains** in the hosting panel.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Access the DNS Zone Editor">
    Click on **DNS** for the domain you want to make the change, this will bring up the DNS Editor

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the TXT record">
    Click the **Add new Record** button, and add the entry as follows:

    </Frame>

    The **Type** should be **TXT**, the **Name** should be `@`, the **TTL** can be anything to your liking.

    <Note>
      We use `google-site-verification=ttGSnqPLbuB1oS13J1TG4aDM` as an example here! The actual site verification string can be found in your Google Search Console.
