5. Get Bulk Verified If you have a business with 10 or more locations, you can get bulk verified. There are a variety of ways to get bulk verified. Essentially, your user account will get verified by Google My Business and your 10 or more locations will become verified. This is a very useful method for agencies that have an Organi- zation account with a multitude of client address locations. If you don’t have 10 or more locations of your business, then this isn’t the verification method for you. Once you’ve been verified, your business listing’s location and details will be on Google Maps and search results. Adding Business Assets on Google My Business The fun isn’t over yet! Now that you have successfully verified your business listing on Google My Business and the whole world can see where you are located, you need to add some extra optimizations. Optimizing your GMB listing increases the likelihood of ranking on the Google Map Pack. You want to make everything as clear as possible on your GMB listing. Users should be able to understand where exactly you’re located. How they can reach you. What products or services you offer. Maybe some addi- tional business information so they can understand what separates you from the competition. Google ranks optimized GMB listings. When you have completed and verified as many sections on Goo- gle My Business as you can, this shows Google you’ve completed your GMB listing’s sections. Making pictures, products, services, and other business information as comprehensive as possible presents you with the opportunity of outranking your competition. These optimizations are general details about your business and anything else you’d like to add. You’ll be optimizing for: • Hours of operation (including Special Hours for holidays or other days off ) • Additional phone numbers • Products/services • Business description • Photos • And a few extra details for searchers to know more about your business When you first get started, Google creates a “Plan” to help you organize and optimize your GMB listing.
