If you get an error that says your domain verification failed, it could be due to timing or how you entered the verification record.
Try these fixes first
- Wait 48 hours—Sometimes it takes up to 48 hours for the domain to be verified.
- Re-enter the verification record—It's possible the verification record was not created or entered correctly. You need to troubleshoot your verification method (see below).
Troubleshoot your verification
How you troubleshoot depends on the verification option you used.
-
I verified with a TXT record—Check to see if the record was added to your domain’s DNS records correctly. To check your TXT verification record, see Troubleshoot TXT records.
-
I verified with a CNAME record—Check to see if the record was added to your domain’s DNS records correctly. To check your CNAME verification record, see Troubleshoot CNAME records.
I don’t know how I verified
You need to contact your domain host for help entering your verification record. To find your host, see Identify your domain host.
My records are correct but domain still not verified
