DNS records

Additional information:

I can see the entry when I try to look up the TXT records with a DNS propagation tool. For example: DNS Checker - DNS Check Propagation Tool

Are you talking about a TXT entry or a different type? If the former, it’s properly configured and visible to Google. Verify if you configured the right entry and contact Google if you did and it still does not work.

I tried the TXT entry first and then also tried to add a CNAME entry instead.

Both entries are valid and present.

For some reason when I try to validate it, they don’t see it.

I’ve also had other weird issues with this domain in terms of validating it when I switched hosting providers. So there must be something blocking these validations.

The entries show up just fine and if these are the entries you were told to configure, the setup should be all right. Only Google can tell you why they cannot verify it.

I haven’t had any issues with other domains, just this one which is managed on Cloudflare. Wanted to see if there was a setting I am overlooking.

Thanks for your help!

You didn’t, the entries resolve correctly

"google-gws-recovery-domain-verification=52607991"
"google-site-verification=zrPrt4T65meMHqnINGJV9xozeouFAKLKD_JQvMc-338"

You either configured the wrong ones or there is some issue with Google, but both is something that only Google can clarify I am afraid
