Step 2: Choose a site verification method

You’ll have two options for this next step.

Domain: you can verify all URLs across subdomains and both HTTPS and HTTP versions at once. You will have to use DNS verification, which can be difficult sometimes. 

URL prefix: you will have to repeat the verification process for all mutations of your site domain. However, you have the option to pick easier verification methods.

Choose domain, then enter your domain without anything like https or www. You’ll now want to copy the TXT record by clicking on the COPY button. Next, open another tab and log into Squarespace. Go to Settings, then domains, then click on your connected domain, then DNS settings. From there, click on the ADD button, choose TXT, then paste the code you were given. Lastly, click save, go back to Search Console, and click verify.
