Step 1: Upload your video
Plan your video. In one continuous recording, include:
Your current location. To show your Google Maps location, capture outside signs, like your street’s name, nearby businesses, or the area around your business.
Business or equipment. To show that your business is at this Google Maps location, capture your operations. This can include things like stock for sale, branded equipment, marketing materials, and tools you use to serve your customers.
Proof of management. To show that you’re authorized to represent your business, capture your access to employee-only items or areas. This includes things like a cash register, kitchen, storage room, or non-sensitive business documents. You can also use your keys to open your facility.
On your mobile device, go to your Business Profile. Learn how to find your profile.

I did all of these things to verify my screen printing business out of my garage, and they suspended my account saying that the business doesnt exist. :/ Not being able to actually talk to a human is frustrating.

[TowMan]

Watching the video now. Hopefully it helps cause I’m trying to start a roadside business and I don’t have an actual business location other than my home address.

[estycki]

I did this today and it took three tries and it was pouring rain 😂 at first I just recorded it and tried to upload and then I realized it wanted me to record it in the browser 🤬 luckily the employees were helpful and unlocked the company door and showed the equipment each time, but I had to run down the block to show the nearest street sign and businesses

[streamingvideo]

[sleepsoundscape]

This is really helpful thank you. However, as an online travel agent that has only just set up I don't have any branded goods or materials that I use and I only operate from my laptop, I'm not sure how to show them anything that proves what I'm doing, also I don't want my home address on Google. please help!
