Step-by-Step Guide to Verify Your Website:

  1. Click "View Details":

    • On the main page of your Google Play Console, click on the "View details" button under the section prompting you to verify your organization's website.

  2. Choose a Verification Method:

    • Google will present you with different methods to verify your website. You will typically see two options:

      • Domain Verification (Recommended): This method requires access to the DNS settings of your domain.

      • URL Prefix Verification: This method involves uploading a verification file to your website.

  3. If Choosing Domain Verification:

    • Copy the TXT Record: Google will provide a TXT record. Copy this record.

    • Access Your Domain's DNS Settings: Log in to your domain provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) and navigate to your DNS settings.

    • Add the TXT Record: Paste the TXT record into the DNS settings and save the changes.

    • Return to Google Play Console: After adding the record, go back to Google Play Console and click Verify. It may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate.

  4. If Choosing URL Prefix Verification:

    • Download the Verification File: Google will provide a small HTML file for download.

    • Upload the File to Your Website: Use an FTP client or your website's file manager to upload the HTML file to the root directory of your site.

    • Verify the File is Accessible: Ensure that the file is accessible by navigating to the file's URL in your browser (e.g., www.yourdomain.com/google-verification-file.html).

    • Return to Google Play Console: Once uploaded, go back to Google Play Console and click Verify.

  5. Confirmation:

    • Google will check the verification and provide a confirmation message if successful. If there are any issues, Google will indicate what needs to be corrected.

  6. Final Steps:

    • After successful verification, your Google Developer account will be fully set up, and you can proceed with publishing your apps.
