Struggling With Google Business Verification? Let Me Help! | Friday SEO Tip

Did you know verifying your Google Business Profile could be the simplest way to improve your local SEO rankings? For small business owners and entrepreneurs, having a verified Google Business Profile ensures your customers can find you when they need you most.

Three years ago, my family lost our home in the devastating Marshall Fire, which destroyed almost 1,000 structures in the Boulder area. We have since rebuilt, but after moving back, I ran into an unexpected challenge—verifying my consulting company’s Google Business Profile. 

In the digital age, it’s critical to keep your profile updated. Without verification, your business will struggle to rank in local searches or perform well in Google’s map pack—the coveted section where potential customers often make their decisions.

How to Verify Your Google Business Profile:

1. Log into your Google Business account and select “Get Verified.”
2. Follow the prompts—this may include uploading a video or verifying by mail, phone, or email.

If you’re unsure about the process or you run into issues, don’t worry. We’ve created A Quick Guide on How to Verify A Business on Google that walks you through the steps.
