  1. Subtitles are available in Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Chinese and English for this video. Click on the Settings icon in the bottom right corner of the video, and select Subtitles/CC from the menu.

  2. 5 years old and they still haven't addressed the terrible instructions
    3:40 Anyone else seeing ONLY "1and1" and "Any Domain" in the instructions drop-down? What use is this?

    4:36 That is complete BS. Those instructions basically stop at "tell your administrator" because you say nothing about how to edit TXT, CNAMEs, etc

  3. You mentioned at the end you can verify new owners in the same way, but you don't explain how….every method of verification that you showed, you showed STARTING from the point of adding a property. What about when the property already exists and you just added a new owner and that owner needs to be verified? How are we supposed to do that?

  4. anyone else come here because google doesn't have any other instructions to connect your google sites to a square space domain name? This video is 4 years old… you think google would have cared to give information to their users….

  5. my problem is that I changed registrar and host, and looks like now google does not even find my website even ownership got verified… this is quite confusing and frustrating… would very much appreciate if you could point me out to the right video or documentation of the search console help. thank you big time!

  6. Hi: Is there a way to verify the site and crawl it if the site is password protected? Is there a way to feed Google the credentials so that they can crawl the site successfully and verify ownership?
