How do I get my site verified by Google Chrome so it has the green box in the address bar? I honestly don't know how to do this. Also, do I have to ask Google to verify it?

The 'green box' in the Chrome address bar isn't anything to do with verification by Google - as Stephen alluded to in the comments on your question, it's an indication that your site has an Extended Verification (EV) security certificate.This is generally a 'premium' SSL product offered by many SSL certificate providers. To get one of these certificates, the best place to start is usually your web host, who can handle the entire process of generating a certificate signing request, purchasing the certificate for you, and installing it. It is sometimes possible to do this yourself through your web hosting control panel, but you'll need to know your way around it to do this.If you do decide to go down the route of doing it yourself, most trusted certificate providers should be able to provide you with an EV certificate. These include companies such as Comodo, Thawte, Verisign and many others. Typically they also provide instructions for setup on popular hosting control panels.
