Google Workspace: Manually Verifying Your Domain with Google
2 min
If your domain was once associated with a different owner, either in Google Workspace or in a Google Workspace reseller account, you may receive an error message similar to this in your Wix Account:
In order to resolve this issue you must verify the ownership of your domain using a TXT record.
To verify your domain using a TXT record:
- Sign into your Google Admin Console.
- Click Domains.
Note: (If hidden) Click More Controls at the bottom of your Admin console and select Domains. - Click Manage Domains.
- Click Set up Admin Console next to the domain you would like to verify.
Note: If you domain isn't listed, click Add a Domain to add a new domain. - Click Next and then Continue to choose TXT verification.
- Copy the TXT record.
- Add the TXT record to your domain's DNS records in the TXT Value field.
- Click Verify.
Note: If you receive a message that your domain couldn't be verified, please wait at least 10 minutes and try again. It may take a few tries for your domain to be verified.
If you have verified your domain with a TXT record and you still cannot set up your Google Workspace business email, we recommend changing your email username.
For example, if you originally set your email user name to username@mystunningwebsite.com, try setting it to username1@mystunningwebsite.com. You can re-edit your username at any time by accessing the Google Admin Console.
Important:
If your domain is connected to Wix via pointing, your domain host is in control of your domain records. Contact your domain host and ask them to add the TXT record on their end.
