This video is also available with Polish subtitles and Swedish subtitles.

What is Google Verification?

Google Verification is the process of confirming the accuracy and authenticity of your business information on Google Search and Maps. This helps your customers find your locations and ensures that your business information is up-to-date.

Why do I need to manually verify my new locations?

Till now, Google Business Partners as PinMeTo have been able to verify locations directly through Google. But in May 2023 the verification methods changed and chain businesses’ locations now need to be either manually verified (see video above) or automatically verified when added to a Bulk-Verified Google account. Benefits of getting a Bulk Verified account is that all future locations added to the Account will be automatically verified provided they have good data quality.

Please remember that even if your account has already been verified in bulk, it is still possible that you will need to re-verify your profile at some point. This can happen quite frequently, particularly if you have made any changes to the information associated with your business. For instance, if you have updated your business name, address, phone number, or any other relevant details, you might be required to go through the verification process again. When this occurs, you will need to verify your locations by clicking on the "Get Verified" button within the Google Business Profile interface. This step ensures that your business information remains accurate and up-to-date.

Applying for a Bulk-Verified Account

To set up a Bulk-verified account, specific guidelines and documentation must be submitted to Google Support. For example, your account must hold 10 or more locations from the same business, your account may not contain any errors and your business cannot be of Service-Area type etc. 

You can apply for a Bulk-verified Google account yourself, or PinMeTo can assist you in the application process. If you are interested – please reach out to our Support and they will guide you further.
