There are many ways to verify your business including:

• Phone
  • Choose the “verify by phone” option and type in the correct phone number. You will receive a text with a verification code that you will have to type in
• Email
  • Choose the “verify by email” option and type in the email address. When you see the message from Google My Business in your inbox, open the email and click the verification button
• Postcard
  • Type in the correct address of your business. You also have the option to type in your name so that the postcard is addressed to a specific person. If your postcard never shows up, you can request a new code by logging into Google My Business and pressing the “Request Another Code” option.
• Bulk Verification
  • If your location has 10 or more locations, bulk verification establishes your ability to manage information across all 10+ locations with many Google products such as Google Maps.
    • When you log into GMB click “Get Verified”
    • Then click “Chain”
    • Next, fill out the verification form that will ask for all of the pertinent information about your company including phone number, location, etc.
    • Finally, click “Submit” and Google will review your form, which will likely take about a week or more
• Instant Verification
  • If you already verified your business with another application such as Google Search Console, you can verify your email right away
