Verifying your business
Verifying your Google Business Profile lets you manage the information about your business that displays in Google search results and on Google Maps. It also makes sure that your information is up to date and can only be edited by you.
Google provides a number of different verification methods that you can use. For example, you can choose to verify your profile by a phone call, an email, or by sending a postcard to your business address. You can also instantly verify your business in your account using your Business Registration Number.
