Thanks for the reply - so Google's instructions are wrong?

I have a site hosted on Google Firebase, and the domain is hosted with Squarespace. Google requires me to add a CNAME DNS record to the domain on Squarespace so that Google can verify that I own the domain. I've added the CNAME record, and have waited 48 hours, but there's no sign that the CNAME has been propagated anywhere at all. I had issues getting CNAME records to be propagated by Squarespace before. Is this an ongoing issue?

Those instructions are out of date. I returned to Google's Domain setup instructions and they seem to have changed, now requiring only TXT records rather than a CNAME record. Once I added the TXT record it propagated within a few minutes and I was able to verify and activate the domain. It seems like TXT records are being propagated but CNAME records are not.

Is anyone from SquareSpace going to reply to this?

A week ago I set the CNAME on my domain. On every other host service that I've worked with this change would have been propagated globally within a few hours, perhaps a day or two at most. With SquareSpace, I've been waiting a week and nothing has happened. I've emailed 'customer service' multiple times, and no response. Chat is also completely unavailable. I cannot launch my site (which is hosted on Google Firebase) until this record has been propagated so that Google can verify that the domain is mine. This totally unacceptable. Is anyone from SquareSpace paying any attention at all to these forums?
