GBP Location Acquisition Process

Hey All,
I've been having more trouble recently getting virtual office locations verified for clients that want centrally located GBP addresses. The current process has been as follows:
- Citation build including specific address
- Have multiple Local Guide accounts "Make a suggestion" on Google Maps
- Include photo in business photos section that includes verbiage of Company name, "address", hours, services, etc.

If anyone has any other methods they've been using to get GBP addresses verified and not suspended I would greatly appreciate any insight, thanks.

Focus on genuine business legitimacy by using real office spaces lease agreements and utility bills as Google is cracking down on virtual office verifications

I’ve also faced similar issues when verifying GBP addresses for clients. One thing I’ve noticed is that using virtual mail services and creating citations from trusted websites can be helpful. Additionally, trying verification through Google’s phone call method might work, although it’s not always successful.

I think providing authentic photos and complete information about the office can increase the chances of verification. Have you tried this approach?

Acquiring and verifying GBP locations has become more challenging due to strict verification policies. Always prioritise authenticity, as Google now heavily scrutinises profiles. If you are unsure about the process, consulting a local SEO expert can help save time and reduce the risk of suspensions.

Hi, Is anyone know how to change address on profile? Most likely it will be suspended, and what next? Resubmit them paperwork, but it takes 1-2 weeks to research. Why it so long?
