How to Verify Google My Business Without a Code

Lindsey Blanchard • November 17, 2021

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.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way businesses approach content marketing , social media marketing , and digital communications. AI can generate ideas, streamline workflows, and help marketers create content faster than ever before. At Blinkjar, we embrace AI as a powerful tool, but we also know the most impactful marketing still begins with something technology can't replicate: a genuine human connection. As a Creative Content Specialist at Blinkjar , some of my most valuable work happens away from my desk. Meeting with clients, visiting their businesses, and building real relationships gives me a deeper understanding of who they are and what makes their brands unique. Those face-to-face interactions help me create authentic content that reflects each client's personality , values, and story. Can AI Really Tell Your Brand's Story? Every business has a story worth telling . While AI can help organize information, brainstorm ideas, and improve efficiency, it can't experience a company's culture, observe customer interactions, or hear the passion behind why a business was started. That’s why every interaction matters. Whether we’re on a call, exchanging emails, meeting in person, capturing photos and videos, or simply talking through new ideas, each touchpoint helps us better understand the businesses we support. These conversations allow us to see how a brand operates, hear the stories behind the work, and uncover the details that make it unique. Those real insights often become the foundation for stronger content because they reveal perspectives that AI simply can’t generate. How Do Client Conversations Lead to Better Content Marketing? The more time I spend with the businesses we support, the better I can represent their brand. Photoshoots are one way those connections happen, but many of my strongest content ideas come from everyday conversations, planning calls, emails, meetings, and moments when a client shares something we would not have known otherwise. Those small details often become the difference between content that feels generic and content that feels true to the brand. Whether we're discussing a new project, talking through their day-to-day operations, or simply catching up, those conversations give me the context I need to write content that's accurate, authentic, and true to their voice. Instead of relying on assumptions, I can pull directly from their experiences, expertise, and personality . That's what transforms content from informative to meaningful.
your brand is your seo

There is a growing misconception online that AI is replacing SEO. That is not really what is happening. AI still relies heavily on websites and traditional SEO fundamentals. What is changing is how authority is measured. Technical SEO, content structure, local optimization, and keyword relevance still matter deeply.
