Verification and assessment
What we check, and what we do not yet.
We say plainly which checks are live and which are planned. A check that is not live is not claimed.

Ownership check
How the DNS TXT check works
- 1
We give you a value
A short string tied to your listing.
- 2
You add it as a TXT record
At your DNS host, on the domain.
- 3
We look it up
If it matches, the listing shows ownership as checked.
- 4
You can remove it after
The record has no other effect.
