Step 2: Verify your Domain Name.
Before your organization can use Google services like Gmail with your company's domain, you'll need to verify that you own it. This ensures that no one else can use services or send email that appears to come from your company.
In order to verify your domain you need to log in to your G Suite account and click on the Verify button as shown in the figure below:
Once clicked, you will be presented with the following methods to verify your Domain Name.
