Question 1

How do I add a TXT record to verify my domain in Google Search Console?

Accepted Answer

Google provides a TXT record value like 'google-site-verification=abc123'. Add this as a TXT record at your root domain (@) through your DNS provider's control panel. Propagation can take up to 48 hours. Use this tool to verify the record is live before clicking 'Verify' in Search Console.

Question 2

Why do I have multiple TXT records and is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Multiple TXT records are normal and supported. Each service (SPF, DMARC-adjacent, Google, Microsoft, etc.) publishes its own separate TXT record. The exception is SPF — you must have exactly ONE TXT record starting with v=spf1. Multiple SPF records cause a PermError.
