A TXT record need to be added to the DNS but I don't have access to do this, so it'll probably have to wait till tomorrow.

It is at the stage of:

Verifying your domain ownership

The domain host is updating your information. This might take a bit — you can close this window and come back to admin.google.com later without interrupting the process.

Estimated time remaining: 1 hour

Jenny has reported that Google has not completed the verification.

Checking the DNS servers:

whois crin.com | grep "^Name Server"
Name Server: ns0.1984.is
Name Server: ns1.1984.is
Name Server: ns2.1984hosting.com
Name Server: ns2.1984.is
dig txt @ns0.1984.is crin.com +short
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9g"
dig txt @ns1.1984.is crin.com +short
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9g"
dig txt @ns2.1984.is crin.com +short
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9g"
dig txt @ns2.1984hosting.com crin.com +short
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9g"

So that all looks fine, checking the public Google DNS servers:

dig txt @8.8.8.8 crin.com +short
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9g"
dig txt @8.8.4.4 crin.com +short
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9g"

Logging into Google and the site verification string accidently has the last few characters missing:

google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o

So that has now been updated.

hours changed from 0 to 0.15
totalhours changed from 0.6 to 0.75

Checking that the DNS has updated:

dig txt @ns0.1984.is crin.com +short | grep "google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
dig txt @ns1.1984.is crin.com +short | grep "google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
dig txt @ns2.1984.is crin.com +short | grep "google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
dig txt @ns2.1984hosting.com crin.com +short | grep "google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
dig txt @8.8.8.8 crin.com +short | grep "google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
dig txt @8.8.4.4 crin.com +short | grep "google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"
"google-site-verification=F5JmEx4ehMTIqY7oM8QWpet5Y_mx7-dOcGwkze9gn8o"

So all looks good and I have clicked through the Google site so it is now verified, closing this ticket.

Adding MX records as per this article:

Blank or @ 	3600 	MX 	1 	ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

Checking via this tool:

And adding SPF as per:

https://support.google.com/a/answer/33786

I'm not sure that DKIM and DMARC are wanted, if they are these articles document what to do:

All the servers have updated:

dig mx @ns0.1984.is crin.com +short
30 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com.
20 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
30 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com.
10 aspmx.l.google.com.

But for some unknown reason the Google checking tool says a 5th server isn't updated:

https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/check?domain=crin.com

This is:

193.47.147.84

But this isn't listed in the whois:

hois crin.com | grep "Name Server"
   Name Server: NS0.1984.IS
   Name Server: NS1.1984.IS
   Name Server: NS2.1984.IS
   Name Server: NS2.1984HOSTING.COM
Name Server: ns0.1984.is
Name Server: ns1.1984.is
Name Server: ns2.1984hosting.com
Name Server: ns2.1984.is

dig ns0.1984.is +short
93.95.226.50
dig ns1.1984.is +short
178.79.188.51
dig ns2.1984.is +short
93.95.226.52
dig ns2.1984hosting.com +short
93.95.226.53

So I'm not sure what is going on there... I have sent a email to 1984.is about it.
