Google has 5 ways to verify your business listing(s). 1. Verify Business Listing via Mail Google will send a “postcard” to the address associated with the business listing you’ve just created. If you have chosen this verification method, it will typically take up to 14 business days for a postcard to reach your address. On the postcard will be your verification code. When you receive the postcard, go to your Google My Business listing’s dashboard, then access the pending verification section. Google’s instructions for verifying using a computer with the postcard’s ode include clicking on the “Verify now” button and inputting the 5-digit verification code. Click “Submit” once you have added the code and
your listing will be verified. If you haven’t received a postcard, in the verification section, you can request Google to send a new postcard. This means that, if you end up receiving the original postcard, you can only use the new postcard’s code. The original code will no longer be applicable.
If you’re on the go or don’t have the time to access your computer, you can verify your GMB listing on your mobile device. To verify your listing via a mobile device, you can access your Google My Business account by either signing into the account on a web browser or by accessing the Google My Business app. Follow similar steps as the computer verification method found above.
