I'm on my 15th try and still being asked to do it again. I've done it just under 2 minutes and a little over 2 minutes and no matter what it doesn't work. When I tried yesterday it worked on the first try but for some reason or another when I went in my profile to look there were 2 accounts for the same business. No clue how that happened so I simply deleted them both and started all over today from scratch and this is where I am at trying over and over again with same results. So frustrating.

I had a similar experience too. I had to walk fast outside from the street view, show other businesses, show the building and address, RUN up the stairs to the door with the same signage, unlock the door, and show business documents related to the business. ✅ Verified!

I need to buy you a beer as i was able to get through the process easily after your step by step process. Your tips are way better than other ones on youtube. Cheers to you !!

The 2-hour drive thing gets tons of online businesses screwed up because they want a huge service area! Great video!

[forwardmotiononline]

Great video Darren! Very helpful. Would love a copy of the checklist. Also, what are your recommendations for Realtors? Office address or home address? This is always so confusing, especially since most Realtors don’t have address proof for their home. Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for this video! I FINALLY got my verification after running up my steep, 45% grade driveway 5 times... on this attempt. I changed all the camera settings on my iPhone to the lowest quality and kept the video under 1 minute.

Awesome video as always. Feel like during Covid was the best time to push the Google Business Profile Boundaries.

I have to say the BG audio in the video was a bit hypnotic. Reminded me of my youth sitting in a Planitarium waiting for Pink Floyd with my Wacky Tobaccy friends. 😏

Hi Darren, that was super helpful, working to get re-verified after an address change. It's been painful to say the least. This video was super helpful and I would love a copy of the checklist you created. Thanks for posting all of this!

[irenekluskarealtor]

Just an update, after not being able to get my page verified for over two weeks. Try after try. I followed your instructions and bang verified! Thank you!😘

[jaumemainou]

Thanks Darren! From Barcelona, Catalonia, a very cordial greeting. Very good work! You are a great help. I had an experience about 3 years ago with a client and we had to make a live video with three parties: client, Google and myself. We were lucky and after 4 or 5 days it was operational again.
I have already "borrowed" the document... 😋 Thank you!

I hope my messages helps someone, I recently got this problem and i followed the steps in the video but i also talked while filming explaining what i was doing. My business is located on the 6th floor head to do some running 😅 video was 2 minutes and 20 second long and it uploaded no problem and i was verified 10 seconds after submitting the video. Hope it stays that way from now on.

Thank you Whitesparks for sharing this toturial it rly helped 😁

[normaleverydaywhiteguy]

Is this even constitutional, wtf is this circus? Essentially you set up your "new" business profile after you've shown them inside your home, your sensitive documents, logging in to your profiles, bank accounts, merch, marketing stuff

[thewildblake]

this just made my day. This is so silly that we have to do this all to be verified 🤣

[GigiSunday]

This was super informative! I ran into issues with a Google My Business Profile and accidentally got the business unverified. I have been emailing back and forth with google support to no avail. The only issue that remains for me (aside from verifying the account with video) is my service area is the whole of the United States, which does not coincide with the Google guidelines. We actually do travel all across the US to our clients, so I'm wondering if you have any insight on that particular issue? Thanks for the great video and the handy checklist!

[tradergirl]

im sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous . this method of verification is a joke. the fact this is the only option makes me want to give up and go work for walmart

[fernthompson]

Thank you for this video! Went step by step including your script and got verified by the 6th time!!

[ColinFinn-ok]

may i please get a checklist...you video is awesome and will save what little hair i have left!

[ktoday]

Great video & thanks in advance for the copy. I'm a bit surprised with the map that G shows: your area spans # countries, not really a 2H drive ?

[BeverlyRichards]

I am dealing with this nightmare too! TY for the video. I will try AGAIN. I would love a copy of your checklist.

[jacquelineaustin]

May I ask if one should give a verbal 😊😊commentary whilst doing the reverification video? 🤔😊
...Thank you tons for this video...much appreciated 👍❤
