Google Business Profile Video Verification Update – What You Need to Know

Google Updates Business Profile Video Verification Process

Google has made an important update to its Business Profile video verification process, giving businesses clearer feedback if their submission doesn’t meet requirements. If your verification is unsuccessful, you will now receive an email outlining exactly what was missing and how to ensure your next attempt aligns with Google’s guidelines.

What’s Changing?

Instead of a general rejection, businesses will now receive a detailed explanation of what was missing in their video. This means you can better understand Google’s expectations and ensure your business verification process goes smoothly.

What to Keep in Mind for Verification

If you receive an email from Google about your video verification, check if your video includes:

• Your surrounding area - Show street signs, landmarks, or neighboring businesses to confirm your location.
• Your business name - Make sure it appears on a business card, license, storefront, or company vehicle.
• Proof of authorization - Demonstrate access to business equipment, a booking system, or a branded company vehicle.
