What’s blocking verification?
Pick the one that sounds like you to see what it means, what we do about it and what you’ll need.
The postcard never arrived
- What it means
- Google mailed a postcard with a code to your business address, and it never showed up.

- Owner or manager access to the profile you are verifying
- Proof of address, such as a utility bill or lease in the business name
Video verification failed
- What it means
- Google asked for a video of your business and didn’t accept the one you recorded.
- What we do about it
- We prepare you for what Google needs to see: your location or service vehicle, permanent signage, the tools or equipment of your trade, and something only an owner or manager could access. We go through it with you before you record.

Service-area business issues
- What it means
- You serve customers at their location, so the profile has to be set up as a service-area business.

Home-based business
- What it means

- Owner or manager access to the profile you are verifying
- Proof of address, such as a utility bill or lease in the business name

Verification code expired

- What you'll need
- Owner or manager access to the profile you are verifying
- Your business phone and website, so the details match everywhere
No verification options

Frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Call 1-866-275-6645.
How much does Google Business Profile verification help cost?
Our fee is a $500 flat fee per profile.
How long does verification take?
Most cases take a few days to a few weeks. The biggest factor is how quickly you can send us the information Google asks for. Google’s own review time also varies from case to case.
Can I talk to someone today?
Yes. Book a same-day call online, or call 1-866-275-6645 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern).
What do you need from me?
Access to the profile, your business registration or licence, proof of address, and your business phone and website. If Google asks for a video, you will also need your signage, branded vehicle or equipment on hand to film.
What should I show in a video verification?
Google wants to see that your business is real and that you manage it: your location or service vehicle, permanent signage, the tools or equipment of your trade, and something only an owner or manager could access. We go through it with you before you record.
Can a home-based or service-area business be verified?
Yes. Service-area businesses can hide their address and list the areas they serve instead. The verification steps are a little different, and we walk you through them.
