For example, if it says 'Great Job! You have a valid DMARC record that provides visibility into the entirety of your email program' = you've done it correctly.

If you see a red message, go back and check you have input the information correctly with your domain provider. 

Note: Some domains take a while to propagate so if you don't get green and you've followed all the steps correctly you may need to come back later and reinspect your domain.
