How to Verify Google My Business GMB

  • Updated

If you've come across this article, you already know that Google Business Messages is an effective and far-reaching channel that can greatly enhance your business, right? Here, we aim to help you better understand the process of Verifying Your Location on Google My Business. 

 

What is Google My Business and How Does it Affect the Use of the Business Messages Channel?

Google My Business is a Google platform that centralizes all your company's information and helps you attract and interact with customers when they search for your company on Google. With the Business Profile, you will appear in Google Search and on Google Maps, and you can respond to reviews, post photos of products or special offers, and add or edit your establishment's information (this and more information available here). 



The impact of this platform on the use of Business Messages occurs if you choose to launch the channel associated with your business address. To link the channel to this address, it must be verified on Google My Business.  

 

There are several verification options, which can be via email, mail, or phone. To start the verification, it is necessary to understand if your address complies with the Address Guidelines, please check if your company's address meets these requirements.

 

If it complies, the verification can be done via mail. That's right! By sending a letter from Google to the provided address.



If there is a delay with the address or if it is not possible to carry it out by this method, we also have the option to do it by email or phone. These methods are available for local businesses. Google considers local businesses to be those that make visits or deliveries but do not serve customers at their business address.

 

  • For example, cleaning service providers or plumbers. 
  • These businesses can create only one profile for the metropolitan area they serve.

 

Another option is to verify a business instantly, which occurs when the business has verified its website with Google Search Console.

 

For instant verification, log into Google My Business with the same email account used to verify your website with Search Console. Some business categories are not eligible for this instant process.
