How to verify SSL for a custom domain
Verify SSL for a RankWatch whitelabel custom domain after DNS records pass.
Prerequisites
- Organization owner; whitelabel package feature when gated
- DNS CNAME/TXT already verified
SSL issuance follows successful DNS verification in the whitelabel wizard. Do not share the portal URL until HTTPS is ready.

Steps
- Open Whitelabel for the domain in progress.
- Confirm CNAME/TXT checks are green.
- Start or wait for SSL issuance / verification in the wizard.
- When SSL shows issued, finish/publish the whitelabel portal if prompted.
- Visit
https://your-custom-hostnameand confirm the certificate and branding load. - Only then send client invites that use whitelabel-only access.
Outcome
Clients can securely open your branded hostname over HTTPS.
