- Doing this since 2007
- International campaigns
- Your accounts, your data
Who is closest when they search “near me”?
Sound familiar?
If any of these describe your business, you’re probably leaving customers on the table - and it’s fixable.
- Your business has no Google listing, or one you cannot access.
- A former employee or agency owns the listing and has left.
- Verification keeps failing or has stalled without explanation.
- Two or more listings exist for the same business.
How we approach Google Business Profile Setup & Verification.
Most set-up problems come from small early mistakes: the wrong category, an address shown when it should be hidden, or a second listing created by accident. We check whether a listing already exists, choose between a storefront and a service-area setup to suit how you serve customers, and follow Google’s guidelines closely. Verification methods vary by business and change over time, so we help you prepare for whichever option Google offers.
- A verified listing you control
- Clean, correct set-up from day one
- No confusing duplicates
- Clear ownership on record

How is a Google Business Profile verified?
Google chooses the available methods for each business. These can include a video recording, a phone call, a text message, an email or, less often, a postcard. The options change over time, so we help you prepare for whichever one appears.
How long does verification take?
It depends on the method and whether Google needs to review the listing. Some profiles verify quickly, while others take longer if extra checks are needed.
Can we have a listing without showing our address?
Yes. Businesses that visit customers, such as trades, can set up a service-area profile that hides the address and shows the areas served.
What if someone else already owns our listing?
We help you request access through Google’s ownership process. If the owner does not respond, Google may offer further steps to recover control.
