The end of phone verification of business cards on Google Maps
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2024 4:49 am
On the Google Products forum, Marissa Nordahl described the reasons and consequences of this change, which in short, in the most important aspects for all of us, will be as follows:
Starting next week (no specific date, so between September 7 and 13), the option to verify business cards by phone will disappear.
For individual users, only verification by post will be possible – a card with a PIN number and a never-ending story – you know
For companies with at least 10 branches and agencies sweden number for whatsapp managing multiple companies/locations, the option of bulk approval will still work (more details at support.google.com )
Verification card with PIN code from Google – it will come eventually, believe it, user
Mrs. Nordhal, in her statement, anticipated (and rightly so) the storm of questions and decided to immediately specify what will change for the better (if anything) and how it will affect the probably intensive inundation of postmen with colorful cards.
As the very nice Mrs. Marissa assures us:
Waiting 14 days is necessary, but it can happen that the carteluchna will come to us in a week! (that's how much to win!)
If for some absolutely unexplained, mysterious and unknown reasons this card does not appear in our mailbox (I can't believe I'm writing this myself), Ms. Marissa encourages: feel free to reach out to us! and then they will be able to investigate why this very tight and reliable procedure did not work However, she does not reveal how you, sneaky user, got their rich out , but maybe that's why she encourages it...
That maybe you didn't have to wait so long before, you malicious user, because you could have called, but believe it or not - Google MUST verify its procedures from time to time, tighten them up and improve them, because you, the mannered user, forced them to do so - demanding reliable information and verified places on Google Maps ! And what? Was it worth it??

The comments and opinions under this statement speak for themselves – this is quite a complication, especially since we all know how important it is for local SEO to have a Google My Business entry .
Somewhere out there we are trying to understand Google in this matter and you know what?
And nothing. We don't understand.
The phone was great.
The card is not great.
