Get your Google Business Profile verified without the third attempt

Why this is harder than it looks

Verification looks simple until it is not. The video has to be recorded live, on site, in one unedited take, and it has to prove you actually manage the business rather than just stand near it. Fail it enough times and the profile gets suspended, which is a much harder hole to climb out of.

What we do

What we need from you

We ask for these up front so nothing stalls halfway through. Items marked required have to be in hand before we can start.

Legal business name and signage nameRequired

If they differ, that difference is often the whole problem.

Photos of your signage and storefrontRequired

Close-up of the sign, the building number, and street context.

Address typeRequired

Storefront, service-area, or home-based. PO boxes and virtual offices do not qualify, and we will tell you that before you pay.

Proof documentsRequired

State registration, business license, a utility bill under 90 days old, or your EIN letter. Name and address must match the listing exactly.

Manager access to the profileRequired

You stay the owner. We take the Manager role, and you can remove us in one click.

The steps only you can take

A few things genuinely cannot be delegated, because the platform requires the business owner personally. We schedule these, prepare you for them, and stay on the call.

• Record the verification video yourself, live and on site. Google requires the owner in the app, so we coach rather than film.
• Answer Google's verification call or enter the code they send.
• Click the Manager invite so we can work on the profile.
