# Overview

> Technical overview of the Complete Google Verification endpoint

# POST /api/domain/complete-google-verification/{org_id}

Completes Google domain verification and submits the sitemap to Google Search Console.

<Warning>
  **Deprecated for Frontend Use**

  This endpoint is no longer called directly by the frontend. Google verification is now handled automatically in the backend during Step 2 completion via `mark-step-complete`.

  The backend polls for Google verification every 10 seconds for 2 minutes, giving DNS time to propagate after the user adds the TXT record in Step 1.

  This endpoint remains available for manual testing and the cron's resubmit-sitemap flow.
</Warning>

## Purpose

This endpoint performs three sequential steps:

1. Verify domain ownership with Google Site Verification API
2. Add the site to Google Search Console
3. Submit the sitemap

## New Flow (Backend-Driven)
