  My domain registrar (PairNIC) said they could get my site “verified by Google” if I got them an “A record” from WordPress. I’m not exactly sure what this is. Who would I ask? The site is davidmartin.org. Thanks! – David

  Hi David,

  You can verify your site with Google without an A record. Just follow the directions found at https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#google-search-console — pretty easy to do. Give a shout if you get snagged along the way.

  Thanks so much! I have tried to do that for a month or so. Seems to have worked!

  One more question: My WordPress address was originally https://davidmartinmusic.wordpress.com, but I forwarded it to my domain name davidmartin.org. Is there anything I need to do with the old wordpress address as far as Google goes? Can I claim that as a “property” too?

  I don’t believe you need to do anything else.
