Are you struggling with your Google Business Profile?
Often, businesses get “de-listed” for various reasons and need to get reinstated. When this happens, Google usually asks for a video to demonstrate ownership and validate your address. Here’s a walk-thru on how to create that video:
1) Go to Google dot com slash business on a computer (while logged in with your company email/Google account). Log in if you need to do so.
2) Once you log in, you should see a screen with a “Get Verified” button. Click that.
3) The next screen will ask you to enter your address… please put in the company address EXACTLY as it appears elsewhere (in your GBP profile, on your site, etc.).
4) The next few screens will provide instructions on what to do and guidelines for what to include in the video. Keep advancing until you get to the point where it asks you to scan a QR code on your phone. Do so, and the next screen should allow you to start recording.
5) Using a phone (again, that’s logged into the company account), start your video by clearly showing the business address/house number. Then proceed to the entrance of your business. If you can include branded work vehicles present in front of the building, that is a plus. Then, film yourself unlocking the building or office to prove to Google that you are a person of authority for the business. Lastly, show off the “tools of the trade” used – PT equipment, roofing tools and products, drafting tables, massage chairs, computers, etc.
6) When done, hit “Stop Recording” and then “Upload Video” to finish: That’s it!
