Why this matters

Without domain verification you lose control over how your URL is displayed in ads and cannot configure Aggregated Event Measurement.

Step-by-step instructions

Business Settings → Brand Safety → Domains

Pro tips

  • Use DNS TXT - most reliable method.
  • Verify before launching iOS campaigns, not after.
  • Re-verify if you change DNS host.

Common mistakes

  • Adding a www record instead of root.
  • Removing the TXT later - verification lapses.
  • Skipping event configuration and losing iOS tracking.

What happens next

Your domain is protected and iOS 14+ conversions flow correctly.
