Domain verification
Deploying the proxy on your domain requires proving that you control it. AgentFi checks that through a DNS TXT record. Crawling and page optimization already work without this step.
Step 1: add a TXT record#
Go to your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap or another) and create a new record with these values:
TXT@ (the root), or your bare domainCommon mistakes: creating a CNAME or an A record instead of a TXT; setting the name to www instead of @; or adding extra quotes around the value. Check all three before you wait on propagation.
Step 2: wait for automatic verification#
AgentFi checks your DNS records automatically at increasing intervals. The panel shows the attempt number and the time of the last check.
You can also click Re-check now to run an immediate check.
DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate, though they usually land within minutes. If it is still unverified after an hour, check the record with an external DNS lookup tool before opening a support ticket.
Checking it yourself#
From a terminal you can confirm the record is visible:
dig +short TXT your-domain.com
# or
nslookup -type=TXT your-domain.comThe output has to include the value AgentFi gave you. If it does not, the record has not propagated yet or was not saved correctly.
Verification status#
In the site navigation bar, above the sections, there is always a badge:
| Badge | Meaning | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Domain verified | Ownership is confirmed. | Everything, including the proxy deployment. |
| Not Verified | Not confirmed yet. | Crawl, optimize pages, generate queries and run tests. Not deploy the proxy. |
Changing the domain#
If you change the Client Domain in the integration settings, verification is invalidated and has to be repeated for the new domain.
