Verifying three custom domains in Google Search Console with Cloudflare DNS

Short summary

DNS TXT verification via Cloudflare is the fastest method to prove domain ownership in Google Search Console for static sites, with zero deployment time and automatic subdomain coverage. Submit your sitemap index file rather than individual shards—Google will gradually discover all pages. Initially expect zero indexed pages; use URL Inspection to request priority crawling and monitor weekly for errors.
