Some GMB verification questions

[larrynectar]

Here are my questions

1. how do you avoid postcard verification and get phone veriication istead ..is there is a reliable method

2. can you add say floors or suites to a building to open GMBs with different websites and phone numbers

3. is there an issue with VOIP and call forwarding with citations ites generally or just Yelp for example


ps could not see a local search forum here ...maybe there should be one

i have been trying to find someone that can do this for about 2 weeks now and no one will take the job... i have seen it done before but after the google updates of feb. 2020 everyone has been saying they can do it but nobody have taken the job.. i need at least 3 of these things a week and the person that was doing them before was getting them done in 2 days, the people that atleast contacted me back have told me that this now is a 10-14 day process but i have yet to see this work

There is working methods. However, those that do know the working methods are not going to share them with you. That's not to sound rude, that's just how it is.

hmmm its possible his was one of the methods hit in the recent GMB de listings but that is just speculation

Thanks for that ......possibly the recent GMB Google de listings might have had an impact !

Probably. I'm now glad I didnt buy any of them...I was VERY close to shelling out over 1k...

Guess I'm stuck with the slow methods again.

Fresh VOIP numbers are hard to come by.

I haven't had to do this for a while, but I imagine you could still do the citation method, just get a burner phone.

Yes VOIP works fine except on Apple so far ........have a different solution for Apple that works !!!

Yes ......I think thats the wa it works .........someone finds a way to autmate a process ....selld a ffew hundred of them and then its terminator time .....makes me prefer more tricky esoteric methods

Talk to me about these esoteric methods.

I have a process now but it isnt automated or instant verification

1. Oh ooops rhe esoteric referred to some ways of getting good DA PA links for adult sites and a few other things all non GMB!! My comment was not specifically re local SEO it was re SEO generally.

2. ON GMB just a collection of useful tweaks which I think lots of people are already using eg ..finding using secondary non incoming office numbers from friends with businesses I know to verify AND then making them accounts only numbers on website works to phone verify when there are VOIP issues eg Apple..and having accouts office addresses to stop visitors Getting physical locations for postcards Iis not actually a problem and also found I can move addresses at least if not far withiut needing re verification. However .that recent GMB cull has put me off doing too many GMBs per site ...prefer to do more sites Nothing very interesting basically!!!

VOIP phone numbers still work just fine. Just have to use the correct providers.

VOIP is fine 99 percent of the time ITS JUST APPLE MAPS citation site there is a well known issue with. The fix I use is to have a borrowed landline secondary tel number from a friend at the general location I am using which I also use as my account only tel number. Of course thee are lots of other ways arund it as well along a similar approach.

HOWEVER if you KNOW a VOIP provider that works for Apple Mapa citation site please let me know !!!!

ALSO just saw you hae a GMB sales thread very interested for the UK ...do you do listings there..........
