How to Verify Google My Business Without a Code

Google My Business (or Google Business Profile) verification is something that's obviously very important for any business to have, but it can sometimes be difficult to get. Quite often, we run into problems with the methods that Google provides. The most commonly offered method is verification with a code sent via postcard. Unfortunately, these postcards often seem to get lost in the mail or mistaken for junk mail and thrown out. Without that code, achieving verification can seem like a nearly insurmountable task as you request one postcard after another. Fortunately, there are ways that this seemingly endless loop of postcards and codes can be broken.

In the video below, we walk through a real-life example of a client who has requested multiple postcards without receiving a single one. With a few simple steps, we are able to appeal directly to Google and request an alternative to the postcard option. In our experience, this process works quickly and with little to no hesitation on the part of Google. Typically, our verification is approved and the listing live within a matter of days. On rare occasions, additional steps such as video verification may be required.
