Before Rankly accepts traffic for a domain, you verify that you own it. This keeps your dashboard clean: events for domains you have not verified are dropped.
1

Add your domain

In the dashboard, open onboarding and enter your domain, for example example.com. Rankly gives you a verification token.
2

Create a DNS TXT record

At your DNS provider, add a TXT record:
FieldValue
TypeTXT
Name@ (your apex domain)
Valuerankly-verify=<your-token>
Use the exact token shown in the dashboard. Most providers apply the record within a few minutes, though some take up to an hour.
3

Click verify

Back in the dashboard, click Verify. Rankly looks up the record through public DNS resolvers and confirms the value matches. Once it does, the domain is active and we will accept its traffic.
Verifying your apex domain (example.com) also covers its subdomains (www.example.com, shop.example.com). You do not need a separate record per subdomain.

​
If verification fails

DNS changes take time to propagate. Wait a few minutes and try again. You can check propagation with dig TXT example.com +short or any public DNS checker.
Copy the token from the dashboard again. The value must be exactly rankly-verify=<token> with no extra spaces or quotes added by your DNS provider.
For your apex domain, the record name is @ (or blank, depending on your provider). For a subdomain, use that subdomain’s prefix.
