How to verify Google Search Console for a domain purchased on Vercel#

Background#

Recently, I purchased a domain on Vercel to use for my personal blog. To make it searchable on Google, I wanted to verify it on Google Search Console. However, Vercel might be a relatively niche domain provider, as I couldn’t find the corresponding verification method for Vercel in Google Search Console’s official documentation.

Vercel itself doesn’t provide a quick way to import TXT DNS records, which made me spend quite some time figuring it out on my own.

Verification Steps#

1. Enter your domain in Google Search Console and start the verification process. Copy the TXT record value as shown in the image below.
2. Go to the domain section in Vercel. In the name field, enter your domain (for example, mine is yunqing.org). Then, paste the TXT record value obtained in step 1 into the value field and click the black ADD button.
3. Wait a few minutes, then return to Google Search Console and click verify to complete the verification. (In fact, I didn’t even have to wait XD)
