Previously, Google only supported DNS verification using the TXT method.
Google announced this morning that there is a new way to verify your site and property in Google Search Console. You can now use DNS CNAME verification in Google Search Console, the search company announced on Twitter.
How it works. In Google Search Console, when you add a new property, Google lets you verify your property using several methods. These methods include:
- HTML file upload
- HTML tag
- Domain name provider
- Google Analytics tracking code
- Google Tag Manager container snippet
- Google Sites
- Blogger
- Google Domains
Google now gives you a new DNS method, CNAME, which actually was an option in the old Webmaster Tools but not an option in the new Search Console interface.
What it looks like. Here is a screenshot showing the new CNAME method:
Confused? Thought so. Google has offered DNS verification for a long time.
