Step 6: Verify Your Business

Google needs to confirm you own this business. Options vary by location:

• Postcard (most common): Google mails a postcard with a verification code to your address. Takes 5-14 days.
• Phone: Some businesses can verify via phone call or text.
• Video: You may be asked to record a short video showing your location.

Don't worry — you can still set up your profile while waiting for verification.
