Verify your local business on Google
You should ensure that your business information is correct when you validate your business and that only you can access it. The majority of local businesses search via email. However, certain organizations, such as companies in the service area, have other choices, such as email, phone, or search console verification.
Build or claim a profile for Google My Business before you begin the verification process.
Your business details will be able to appear in Search, Charts, and other Google resources after you enter your verification code.
Verify a business by mail
Important: While you wait for your verification postcard, do not edit your business name, address, category, or request a new code. This can prolong the process of verification.
Make sure your address complies with our address entry guidelines before you request verification by mail.
